Abstract

A system and method for measuring current velocities using coded-pulse broadband acoustic signals. Autocorrelation of two phase coded pulses which are in the water during a single transmission cycle is used to calculate a Doppler frequency. The effective result is current profilers having improved profiling range and spatio-temporal resolution.
