The IQOE Task Team on Low-Cost Hydrophones for Research, Education, and Citizen Science is looking for industry partners to develop a low-cost hydrophone.
- Modular equipment: cabled (cable optional and to be purchased separately) and
autonomous settings, for example with an option to remove the cable, and attach it to an autonomous processor (including battery, memory and electronics for archival). Option to
add a temperature sensor. - Target market price: US$100 for hydrophone only, $200 with autonomous recorder
- Minimum frequency response: 10 Hz – 40 kHz
- Minimum sensitivity: -180 dB re V/uPa
- Minimum depth rating: - 20 m
- Including pre-amplifier
- Omnidirectional
- Calibratable (e.g. adaptor piece to fit into pistonphone)
The IQOE Task Team will work with the industry partner(s) to gather input and feedback from
the user community, support prototype testing, and explore possible sources of funding.
Interested parties may contact Dr. Lucille Chapuis for further information.
Expression of interest deadline: 15 January 2024
