I. INTRODUCTION

Offshore Navigation (Australia) Pty. Ltd. (ONA), under contract

to Hall i burton Geophys i ca I Service (HGS), provided an ARGO

Radiopositioning System to a marine seismic survey that was

conducted off the coast of Tasmania, Australia, in the Bass

Strait. The survey extended along the north coast of Tasmania

from east of King Island and up to approximately 200km

offshore. The survey was conducted for Shell (Austral ia)

(SHELL) and designated as T/18P and T/14P.

ONA provided a Syledis Radiopositioning System and HGS provided

its Configurable Marine System (CMS) to this survey. The ARGO

mobile equipment was interfaced to the CMS. ARGO positioning

data was recorded by CMS.

ARGO was the prime navigation system for this survey. The ARGO

mobile equipment was provided with a di gi tal printer and a

strip chart recorder. Positioning data was recorded on the

printer and recorded throughout the survey.

The ARGO mobile equipment was calibrated and updated to

positions determined by the Syledis system.

count was checked to Syledis positions.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. This form is to be filled out completely for each day that the crew, or any member thereof, is in a work status.

2. It is intended to provide a concise but complete log of one day's activity' on an oPerating radiopositioning crew. Completeness j,

more important than brevity.

3. If more sp~e is needed in order to make a complete report. use supplemental sheets.

4. In addition to providing an operational log. it also provides information required for billing purposes, particularly as it lists operatintdays, lost time, overtime, etc.

5. It has been specifically modified from previous forms to provide (under Operating Time) for a notation as to what the system ibeing used for during a specific period. This is particularly important (1) in case of overtime operations; (2) when the system ibeing used for other than the client's normal, day to day, oPerations; and (3) when the system is kept on the air but no productiOJis being realized.

6. Under "Operating Time", the name of the client's representative requesting that the system be turned on or off or requesting overtime (OfT) operations should be noted. Notations such as "Client" or "Client Rep." are not sufficient.

7. Mobile operators should ascertain from their Party Chief if overtime charges are applicable on a particular operation (Party Chiefare normally furnished with a copy of the applicable contract). If overtime is applicable to the operation, it should not be incurrelwithout the client representative being fully aware of it and specifically authorizing it. In brief, if the system is not required, ishould be turned off. If. the client will not permit its being turned off to eliminate unnecessary overtime, that should be noted 01

this form, including all pertinent particulars.

8. The client, or his representative, always has the final decision as to wheth~r the system should be turned on or off.

INSTRUCTIONS

8. The client, or his representative, always has the final decision as to wheth~r the system should be turned an or off.

It has been specifically modified from previous forms to provide (under Operating Time) for a notation as to what the systembeing used for during a specific period. This is particularly important (11 in case of overtime operations; (2) when the systembeing used for other than the client's normal. day to day, operations; and (3) when the system is kept on the air but no producticis being realized.

If more 5,9-ace is needed in order to make a complete report, use supplemental sheets.

This form is to be filled out completely for each day that the crew, or any member thereof, is in a work status.

In addition to providing an operational lag, it also provides information required for billing purposes, particularly as it lists aperatirdays, lost time, overtime, etc.

Under "Operating Time", the name of the client's representative requesting that the system be turned on or off or requesting (Nt

time (OfT) operations should be noted. Notations such as "Client" or "Client Rep:' are not sufficient.

It is intended to provide a concise but complete log of one day's activity on an operating radiopositioning crew. Completenessmore important than brevity.

Mobile oPerators should ascertain from their Party Chief if overtime charges are applicable on a particular operation (Party Chieare normally furnished with a copy of the applicable contract). If overtime is applicable to the operation, it should not be incurnwithout the client representative being fully aware of it and specifically authorizing it. In brief, if the system is not required,should be turned off. If. the client will not permit its being turned off to eliminate unnecessary overtime, that should be noted I

5. It has been specifically modified from previous forms to provide (under Operating Time) for a notation itS to what the systembeing used for during a specific period. This is p.-ticularly important (1) in case of overtime operations; (2) when the systembeing used for other than the client's normal, day to day, oPerations; and (3) when the system is kept on the air but no producticis being realized.

6. Under "Operating Time", the name of the client's representative requesting that the system be turned on or off or requesting QIIE

time (O/T) operations should tie noted. Notations such as "CI!ent" or "Client Rep." are not sufficient.

7. Mobile oPeraton should ascertain from their Party Chief if overtime charges are applicable on a particular operation (Party Chipare normally furnished with a copy of the applicable contract). If overtime is applicable to the operation, it should not be incurnwithout the client representative being fully aware of it and specifically authorizing it. In brief, if the system is not required,should be turned off. If. the client will not permit its being turned off to eliminate unnecessary overtime. that should be noted l


8. The client, or his representative, always has the fin at decision as to whether the system should be turned on or off.

Rocks lay about the station. Some of the rocks extend upto 1 foot above ground level. Vegetation in the area ismainly green grass and patches of Tussock up to 1 meterhigh. On the landward side the point slopes gradually,with black soil pasture riddled with Mutton Bird burrows.Once on the f 1a ts, whi ch are very wet during winter,vegetation ranges from scattered trees to patches of densewoods.

On a clear day the city of Devonport can be seen 32 kmaway, at a bearing of 260-. Beach areas, are separatedby rocks, are located 900m from the station at a bearingof 2000 • Small patches of trees are located 500 metersfrom the station at a bearing of 80-. An 80 meter by 30meter is 1and is located offshore, approximate ly 800 metersand 60- from the station.

In dry weather a regular two-wheel drive vehicle may beused, but the grassy slopes on the approaches to thestation site may become very slippery when wet and thereare numerous boggy patches after heavy rains and a fourwheel drive vehicle is necessary.

If four-wheel drive vehicles are unavailable or it turnswt after the station is set, Roger Moncrieff has a tractorwhich is available to tow the vehicle to and from thestation site. The tractor may also be required to toweven a four-wheel drive vehicle if it is heavily laden inextreme wet conditions.

From Devonport, drive on the Bass Highway towardsLaunceston for 2 km past the East Devonport turnoff, andturn left at the Exeter/Port Sorell turnoff (BI9) near thetop of the rise. Follow this road towards Port Sorell(the Exeter Road turns off to the right) for approximately12 km to a road intersection, located approximately 2 kmbefore entering Port Sore 11. A wooden sign showing"Hawley Caravan Park" is on the left side of thisintersection. Turn left at this intersection, and followthe road to Hawley Beach.

THE ARGO RADIOPOSITIONING SYSTEM

ARGO is the acronym for Cubic Corporation's Automatic Ranging Grid

Overlay navigation system. It operates on the principle that a medium

frequency (MF) radio signal traveling along the earth's surface in the

"ground wave" mode experiences a time (and hence phase) delay

proportional to the distance travelled. ARGO utilizes a time multi

plexed (RF) pulse to service up to seven mobile stations interrogat

ing up to four fixed responders.

ARGO has multi-user capability in a Range-range Mode for 12 mobile

units with two base responders. ARGO's capability also allows

unlimited user capacity in the Hyperbolic Mode of operation, with a

reduced number of Range-range users.

An ARGO fixes responder installation typically consists of a Range

Processor Unit (RPU), Antenna Loading Unit (ALU), Power Source, and

appropriate antenna and interconnecting cables. Two responder

locations are required to determine the position of the mobile

station. The Range Processor Unit receives an interrogation burst,

processes it, and transmits a reply burst with the same carrier phase

as that received from the mobile interrogator. In addi tiona I, the

station designated as Master Station generates system timing bursts

which are transmitted to the other fixed land stations and all mobile

interrogators to establish and maintain a common time synchronization.

243C62

61.

THE ARGO RADIOPOSITIONING SYSTEM (continued)

The ARGO mobile interrogator installation typically consists of a

Range Processor Unit, Antenna Loading Unit, Contro 1 Display Unit

(CDU), Strip Chart Recorders, Power Source, and appropriate antenna

and interconnection cables.

The mobile Range Processor Unit processes the transmitted and received

signals, and measures the phase delays. The Control Display Unit

displays the range distance in units and fractions of lanes. The

distance from each fixed station location to the mobile interrogator

location is determined by an accumulation of lane counts and computing

positions within lanes.

The mobile equipment can be interfaced with the proper equipment to

simultaneously display, print, record and plot ranges.

Since the ARGO system operates from ground waves, it wi 11 measure

beyond the optical horizon. Skywave and re-radiation effects are

minimized by special filtering techniques.

243C63

62.


Optimum system performance depends to a very large extent upon proper

selection of base station sites on shore. and proper mobile antenna

installation. For maximum range capability. the land stations must

be located immediately adjacent to the coastline and on ground of good

conductivity. Poor ground conductivity and overland transmission path

will each reduce the maximum obtainable range. In addition. overland

transmission can adversely effect the accuracy of the system.

RANGE - RANGE MODE OPERATION

This mode is a multi-user. multi-range circular geometry navigation

and positioning system that used active mobile interrogator stations

and two to four active responder stations at known fixed locations.

The system determines the distance from each fixed location to the

mobile interrogator location by accumulating lane counts and computing

positions within lanes. The lane is related to the frequency of the

carrier burst transmitted between stations. It is equivalent to half

the carrier wavelength. Therefore. since the ARGO operating frequency

range is 1600 to 2000 KHz. the lane width is approximately 75 to 94

meters. The exact lane width for a particular operating frequency and

operating area is determined by dividing (Propagation velocity in

meters/second) by (2 x operating frequency in Hertz). The resulting

answer would be the lane width in meters. (NOTE: Propagation velocity

is dependent on the characteristics of the operating area.)

243C64

63.


Position with a lane is determined by examining the phase relationship

between a burst of RG energy transmitted from the interrogator and re

transmitted by a fixes responder station. Only one frequency is used

for all the ranging functions within a single network.

The ARGO system also incorporates a lane identification feature. This

permits verification of the proper lane count provided that the

position of the mobile station is known within plus or minus five (5)

lanes. The determination of the 10-lane sector can be accomplished

by means of a satellite receiver. dead reckoning or other means. The

land identification feature uses a second radio frequency separated

from the primary ranging frequency by approximately ten (10) percent.

The reliability of the lane identification feature is dependent. to

a large extent. on such factors as man-made noise. propagation errors.

and installation problems. such as guy wires. masts. powerlines. etc.

For each mobile station. an interrogation burst is transmitted to each

responder every 2 seconds. Each 2-second period is initiated by the

Master station (which is normally one of the fixed stations. but can

be one of the mobile stations) and is divided into time slots. The

first time slot is 120 milliseconds long. and is used for a timing

burst from the master station to synchronize all interrogators and

responders.


64.

The remainder of the 2-second time frame is divided into time slots,

the number and duration of which depends upon the number of base

stations in the system. Each time slot is further divided into a 56

millisecond segment for the mobile station interrogation and two or

more 44 millisecond segments, one for each fixed base station in the

system. The final time slot in a 2-second frame is used for the lane

identification feature. Only one mobile station is assigned to each

of the available time slots.

Up to twelve mobile stations can operate simultaneously from two fixed

base stations. if the system includes three base stations, up to nine

mobile stations can be used. Use of four base stations in a system

reduces the number of permissible mobile stations to seven. All

stations in a system must be set for the same system configuration;

that is, set for two, three or four range operation.

HYPERBOLIC MODE OPERATION

The following equipment is required to convert the ARGO system from

the Range-range mode to the Hyperbolic Mode:

MOBILE STATION - Hyperbolic Firmware (V2.3 CDU)

(V2.0B RPU)

Antenna Coupler

Receiver/Coupler Cable

243(166

65.


BASE STATIONS The Master (Center) station must have Firmware

V2.0B installed in the RPU.

NOTE: If a second hyperbolic Center Station is to be utilized, it

must also contain Firmware V2.0B (PROMS).

A marine operation may utilize either the Range-range or Hyperbolic

Mode of Operation. An aircraft operation preferentially utilizes the

Hyperbo Ii c Mode, as the bas i c hardware des ign of the ARGO system

allows increased data rates for high speed operations.

In the Hyperbolic Mode, the ARGO mobile station does not initiate

station interrogations. A fixed station (the "Master") generates the

interrogation pulse and the other fixed stations (Slave) reply to the

Master interrogation pulse. The mobile station receives pulses from

the Master (Center) Station and each Slave in turn.

243U67

66.


A normal 2-second timing/ranging sequence is illustrated in Figure 1.

The Master/Center initiates a timing pulse used for system timing, as

with the Range-range Mode. The Master/Center Station then

interrogates the Slave Stations in time slots I, 3, 5, and 7. (The

Slave stations reply to the Master interrogations in these time

slot s). The mobi 1e stat ion measures the phase of the Master /S lave

pulses, and the hyperbolic Line of Positions (LOP's) are displayed on

the Range Displays/ The formula for determining a LOP is shown in

Figure 3.

In a Hyperbolic Network, there are a fixed number of ARGO "Lanes"

(wavelengths) from the Master/Center Station to the Slave Stations.

The number of lanes on a given baseline (that imaginary line which is

the shortest di stance between the Master/Center Stat ion and Slave

Station) can be determined by the formula: Twice the baseline length

divided by the ~avelength. "Zero" lane is located at the Master/

Center Station, with the maximum number of lanes located at the Slave

Station. There fore, the base line ext ens ion at the Master/Center

Station is "Zero" lanes. This feature is used to convenient ly

I~

calibrate the mobile unit. The mobile unit merely needs to circle the

Master/Center Station, and adjust when the mobile display reaches its

lowest reading. This indication will be at a point where the Master/

Center Stat ion is direct ly between the mobi 1e unit and the Slave

Station being calibrated. In addition, a check of the accuracy of the....

ARGO system can be accomplished by crossing the baseline extension at

the Slave Station, and comparing this reading with the computed base-

line length.

If Hyperbolic Lane Identification is desired, one of the Range-Range

time slots must be reserved for this feature. Time Slot 4 is used for

Hyperbolic Lane Identification (See Figure 4 for the Input/Output

Ports Board Switch setting to activate this feature). Hyperbolic Lane

Identification is not used in aircraft operation, since the high speed

operation reduces the reliability of this feature greatly.

A Range Processing Unit with 2.GB software installed will operate as

a normal Range-Range base station, as long as the Timing Switch is set

to "Slave" or "Relay". Setting the Timing Switch to "Master" makes

the station a Hyperbolic Master/Center Station.

73.

THE SYLEDIS RADIOPOSITIONING SYSTEM

SYLEDIS is a short to medium range radiopositioning system manu

factured by Sercel (Societe d'Etudes Recherches et Constructions

Electroniques). It is a versatile system which can be configured to

operate in either range-range, hyperbolic or a combination of both

modes. SYLEDIS is a pulsed system which utilizes a time sharing

arrangement to allow each beacon, or mobile unit in a given network

to transmit and receive without interference.

In the range-range mode, the mobile unit transmits an interrogate

pulse and receives replies from the base station beacons. The Lines

of Position (LOP's) in this mode are circular with the base stations

being the center. Ranges are displayed in meters. In the hyperbolic

mode, ranges are measured in lanes as the difference in arrival time

between a mas ter beacon signa I and the responding signa I that it

elicits from the slave beacons. The LOP's in this mode are two sets

of hyperbolae with the slave and master stations as the foci. In the

compound mode, SYLEDIS is able to support a maximum of three range

range users and/or an unlimited amount of hyperbolic users.

In the range-range mode, one of the stations id designated synchro

master. That station transmits a synchronization pulse to all other

beacons and/or mobile stations in the network. This pulse insures the

time slot sequence for each unit is in alignment with all others.

THE SYLEDIS RADIOPOSITIONING SYSTEM (continued)

74.

By utilizing "pulse compression" techniques, SYLEDIS transmits an

effective high energy pulse at low peak power. The SYLEDIS mobi le

interrogator is capable of tracking and displaying three ranges

s imu 1taneous ly. The pos it iona 1 data can be recorded and/or inter

faced to other devices through three parallel BCD and one serial out

put ports.

Due to the repetitive nature of time slot allocations, SYLEDIS has a

plus or minus IO-kilometer ambiguity. That is to say, when the mobile

unit is first activated, the operator must select an approximate range

(within ten kilometers) to each of the base stations.

Another operating characteristic of SYLEDIS is one shared by all range

range systems. Because we are trying to measure the distance from one

antenna to another by measuring the time it takes a radio wave to

complete the round trip, dividing the time by two and multiplying the

result by the proper constant, we must eliminate the time it takes the

signal to travel down the antenna cable as well as the time it takes

to travel through the electronics of the unit itself. This delay in

boat-beacon-boat travel time is determined during calibration and is

there-after known as the system delay. Manufacturer's specifications

by distance measurement over a precisely known range.

THE SYLEDIS RADIOPOSITIONING SYSTEM (continued)

75.

Once a mobile station is configured for operation in a net, it will

automatically acquire signals. The operator should then adjust the

10 kilometer and 100 kilometer digits using front panel switches.

Once this is done, the survey may begin. SYLEDIS does not suffer from

"drift" or "lane ambiguity" so operation is relatively simple.

Quality control of survey data is accomplished by baseline crossings

and periodic three way fixes.
