The sea state is measured by the deviation of the instantaneous values of the water level from mean sea level at the observation point. Instruments for measuring sea level in many cases is also suitable for measuring wave parameters, if they have a high rate measurements. The composition of the measured wave parameters usually include height, period and wavelength, and for special tasks - spectra of the height and direction of waves.

A known design of resonant acoustic sensor [1], which, in principle, can be used to measure anxiety. The transmitter includes measuring and compensating pipe, which is equipped with two electro-acoustic transducer. The converters are connected to the generator of the noise signal, which excites in the inner cavity of the pipe resonant acoustic oscillations. These fluctuations are received by two microphones, amplified by pre-amplifiers and fed to an analog-to-digital Converter. Digitized oscillations are received in the processing unit that includes the first and second Fourier converters and block taking the logarithm of the signal, which method Castelnovo analysis allocate frequency harmonic components of the spectrum. The resonance frequencies of the acoustic waves from ericales pipe is calculated liquid level. Harmonic frequencies in the compensation pipe are used to introduce amendments. Positive qualities of this transmitter is a high accuracy level measurement, performance, and robustness to noise environment.

The disadvantages of the transmitter in relation to the task of measuring the wave is the need to use measurement and compensation of pipes of large size, which may not be installed in the open sea. In addition, the electric circuit device has high power consumption, because the composition of blocks and the measurement mode is designed for electric power, thus preventing its use in stand-alone devices are battery powered.

Also known multibeam acoustic Doppler velocimeter current spectrum and excitement in the open sea (ADCP) [2]. These instruments are made in the form of a sealed cylindrical housing, the top cover which has four orthocarolina highly directional antenna radiating acoustic parcels in the upward direction at an angle of 30° relative to the vertical. Inside the housing the electronic components of receiver-emitter amplifiers reflected signals, microprocessor, flash memory and the battery pack. Instruments ADCP mounted on the bottom of the sea with depths from 5 to 80 m on the rigid platform, excluding the possibility of movement under the influence of excitement. The principle of the Doppler measure of the excitement is to measure the orbital velocity of the wave motion of the deep eddies of water on the magnitude of the Doppler shift frequency of the reflected signals. Measurements are made with four narrow acoustic beams. Along each beam emit up to 25 conventional cells, a length of approximately 3 m and within each virtual cell to measure the speed of orbital movement of the water. The probe pulses are emitted with a frequency of 2 measurements per second, which gives the total number of sources of information on the four rays of about 200 that provides the necessary statistical redundancy and the possibility of calculating the spectrum of the direction of movement of the individual spectral components of excitement. Range of directional waves is calculated using a specially developed algorithm Maximum Liklihood Method (MLM) (maximum likelihood method). Range of wave heights, which is the main objective of the measurements, calculate the indirect method of successive approximations for several iterations, using theoretical ratio of hydrodynamics between the orbital velocities of the deep eddies and wave heights on the surface of the sea. These estimates have a relatively low accuracy, which is what I depends on the depth of the sea, the bottom topography, proximity to the coastline. The low accuracy of the measurement of wave height and associated uncertainty of measurement are the main disadvantages of Doppler meters excitement.

Closest to the claimed invention by the combination of features and principle of operation is the device Upward looking instrument - Wave Profiler canadian firm ASL Environmental Sciences [3] (Upward looking sonar - meter excitement). This device comprises a sealed cylindrical housing and mounted on the lid of the piezoelectric acoustic emitter packages. The emitter has a sharp directivity, which gives a small spot diameter of the exposure on the sea surface and thus provides a high spatial resolution. Inside the body is placed electronic components, including the generator short pulse parcels, the receiver is reflected from the surface of the water signals, analog-to-digital Converter, a processor, a memory unit and the battery pack. The device is installed as part of pritoplennye mooring stations on the host buoy, recessed from the surface of the water to 225 m water Depth at the point of production may be significantly larger. In this device, the wave height is measured by the direct method with a time delay of the reflected pulse signal from the surface of the water, which is sufficiently high the th accuracy and reliability of measurements. The period of a wave is measured by processing a number of observations, obtained by probing with a periodicity of at least two measurements per second. For measurements of the spectrum of the orientation of the excitement you want to simultaneously use three synchronized appliance, posted on the bottom on some database and installed at the vertices of the triangle.

The disadvantage of the prototype, which reduces its feasibility and performance characteristics, is relatively large weight and dimensions, as well as a large power capacity of the battery. Power consumption limits the battery life of the device up to 3 months at the frequency of the emitted parcels 4 Hz carrier frequency 420 kHz.

The present invention is to improve technical and economic performance of the prototype in the direction of reducing energy consumption, reducing weight and size, extend autonomy to 1 year. This task is solved in that in hydroacoustic pornographe, containing a sealed cylindrical housing and mounted on the lid piezoceramic beam receiver emitter placed inside the generator short acoustic parcels receiver reflected from the surface of the signals, a microprocessor-based analyzer with built-in analog-to-digital Converter, a memory unit is a battery power source, the acoustic generator packages built from two SMD - keys of the complementary conduction type connected with receiver emitter through the inductance forming capacity receiver-emitter resonant circuit, in the circuit of the resonant circuit is enabled to a low-resistance resistor, which is got positive feedback on the inputs SMD - keys via the amplifier, made of two cascaded logic inverters, and the output of the receiver emitter connected to microprocessor-based analyzer, the first output of which is connected to a computer to read data from the memory block, the second output submitted to the control input of a logical inverter.

Sonar Volgograd also differs in the fact that microprocessor-based analyzer supplemented by the correlation processing unit, which calculates the cross-correlation function of the emitted and reflected signals.

Because of those distinctive characteristics Volgograd acquires new positive qualities. A repeated increase of efficiency of power consumption is achieved by the proposed scheme generator acoustic parcels, which has a higher efficiency due to the resonance tuning of piezoelectric emitter and mode of operation pulsed excitation, in which there is no need for pre-generate the re external excitation. When the duty cycle of the emitted pulses of the order of 1000 no additional continuously running generator external excitation provides great savings of energy consumption.

The second positive effect in the proposed device is achieved through the block correlation signal processing. Compared with the traditional treatment option signal amplitude detector, requiring the ratio of the signal level to the noise level not less than 5, the correlation unit can reliably receive signals when the signal-to-interference level 1. This allows you to reduce 5 times the power output of pulses and thereby to achieve additional savings of energy consumption. In addition, correlation processing of the signal compared to the amplitude detection allows to increase the resolution of the echolocation range up to approximately half period of the carrier frequency. This, in turn, makes it possible to reduce the carrier frequency sensing with 420 kHz to 200 kHz at a given resolution range 5 see due to the much lower attenuation frequency 200 kHz increases in proportion to the maximum depth setting device from 225 m to 350 m

Functional block diagram of the device shown in figure 1. The circuit composition comprises a piezoceramic receiver-emitter 1, the memory card is received by the output of the two SMD key complementary conduction type 2 through inductance 3 forming capacity emitter serial resonant circuit. In the circuit of the resonant circuit is enabled to a low-resistance resistor 4, which is got positive feedback on the inputs SMD-keys via the amplifier, constructed from two logic inverters 5.

The output of the receiver-emitter 1 is connected to the input of the receiver of the reflected signals 6, the output of which is connected to the input of a microprocessor-based analyzer 7, incorporating analog-to-digital Converter, the correlation processing unit and a memory block. The first output of the microprocessor analyzer connects to the computer to read data from the memory block and the second output submitted to the control input of a logical inverter 5. The power to each power device is powered by a battery source 8.

Pornografa occurs in the following sequence. After power-on command, the microprocessor analyzer 7 with his second inputs receive the synchronization signals on the logic input of the inverter 5 with a clock frequency of 4 Hz with a duration of 0.1 MS. Under the action of each pulse inverters 5 go to an active mode of operation and generating a powerful impulse to the ceramic receiver emitter 1 by rotating the switch SMD - 2 keys and the reason is snogo amplification circuit, formed by the inductance 3 and the capacity of the receiver-emitter 1. In the circuit occurs the resonance currents, which form low-resistance resistor 4, the voltage drop that support self-oscillations in a chain of positive feedback. Pulse burst from the receiver-emitter radiates into the water and at the same time, passing through the receiver 6 can be written in the block correlation processing microprocessor analyzer 7 for subsequent comparison with reflected from the surface of the pulse. Acoustic parcel is reflected from the surface of the water, taken transceiver transmitter 1 and the receiver 6 and enters the microprocessor-based analyzer 7. In the analyzer the parcel is converted to digital form and processed in the correlation processing unit, which calculates the cross-correlation function of the emitted and received signals.

On the signal delay time measured by the unit of the correction processing, microprocessor-based analyzer calculates the distance sensing and instantaneous value of the wave height. Instant timing wave height with an interval of 0.25 s give continuous wave profile, which is stored in the memory block. One sensing session lasts for 10 minutes and includes 2400 times the wave height. Selected discrete samples allows you to record a spectrum of waves with minimal period is filling up 1 C. The sessions of the measurements are repeated with a frequency of 1 hour.

The measurement results are read from the memory unit in the computer after hoisting to the surface.
