I'm new to this and am just asking, why can't the signal from one
transponder just be split into two feeds? I know there would be some
bridging loss but not a lot. In other words is the transponder unique to
a specific receiver?
Just curious
A depth sounder transmits a brief ultrasonic pulse, then listens for
its echo, using the same transducer.
If two sounders were connected to the same transducer, the
high-powered transmitted pulse from one sounder would overload, and
probably damage, the sensitive receiver in the other.
Ah, so the pulse is generated in the unit not the transponder. Thanks
much. That answers that one.
