Abstract

This paper gives design of Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler. It is used for measuring the water profile. This can be mounted on the walls of bridges, below the underwater vehicle and can be fitted at the bottom of the water column. It gives readings not just at the bottom or top surface but gives throughout the water column. Basicprinciple used in this is Doppler Effect. This design is working on the 40 KHz frequency.Newadditions can also be done for theremoval of noise etc.
