Subsea measurement made easier

摘要

Many millions of dollars are spent every year on the creation of ever smaller, lower power and higher speed digital signal processors (DSPs) intended, for the most part, to supply the burgeoning market for consumer electronics and personal communications devices. DSP designers are by no means driven to support the needs of subsea instrumentation manufacturers but, since subsea sensing applications often encompass similar power and performance ideals, modern DSPs can be fully embraced and have rapidly become a key enabling technology in the offshore energy and oceanographic sectors.
