Abstract
An acoustic vector sensor (“AVS”) includes one or more sensitive elements arranged in an orthogonal configuration to provide high-sensitivity directional performance. The one more sensitive elements may be seismometers arranged in a pendulum-type configuration. The AVS further includes a hydrophone.
Claims18
An acoustic vector sensor system comprising:
- a housing including therein one or more sensitive elements arranged in an orthogonal configuration;
- at least one omni-directional hydrophone;
- and
- a pendulum assembly including the one or more sensitive elements connected to an interior portion of the housing via a pendulum mount.
1 more element
An acoustic vector sensor system comprising:
- a waterproof housing containing therein a pendulum assembly, the pendulum assembly being attached to an interior portion of the waterproof housing via a pendulum mount and including therein an arrangement of seismometers;
- first and second flotation components, wherein the waterproof housing is secured between the first and second flotation components;
- and
- at least one omni-directional hydrophone.
1 more element
An acoustic vector sensor system comprising:
- a cylindrical housing containing therein a pendulum assembly, the pendulum assembly being attached to an interior portion of the cylindrical housing via a pendulum mount and including therein an arrangement of at least three seismometers;
- and
- at least one omni-directional hydrophone.
