[0002] Currently, depth sounders, as key instruments for detecting water depth using sound waves, primarily rely on transducers for sound wave transmission and reception. In practice, the conventional method is to place the transducer at a specific depth H in the water. The transducer then emits sound waves underwater, accurately detecting its depth to the bottom. Finally, by adding this detected depth to the transducer's height H above the water surface, an accurate water depth data is obtained.
