Normalized Backscatter Maintains Data Integrity

In this example, you will observe that while the user adjusts sonar settings such as power gain, absorption, and spreading, the backscatter remains unaffected. The SeaBat T-Series sonar accurately measures the seabed response because the normalized backscatter is adjusted to account for these sonar settings. Normalized backscatter allows users to adjust sonar settings without compromising the quality or integrity of backscatter data. This flexibility in data collection ensures that changes in parameters such as gains do not influence the measurement of backscatter strength, ultimately facilitating more accurate analysis and interpretation of underwater features.
