Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) and Prototype Equipment Design (PED) recently collaborated to design and build the world’s first low frequency calibration system for digital and analog hydrophones. The calibration system was designed to calibrate the most sensitive low frequency hydrophones on the market, Canada's icListen LF smart hydrophones. These ultra sensitive acoustic sensors detect sounds that are below the range of existing calibration systems: earthquakes, underwater landslides, large baleen whales and the rapidly growing undersea shipping noise that can impact marine ecosystems and environments.
Founded in 2001, with beginnings in the University of Victoria’s Engineering Lab, PED is a full service machine shop based on...
