What is the difference between CHIRP and traditional sonar?

Difference Between CHIRP and Traditional Sonar

CHIRP (Compressed High-Intensity Radiated Pulse) sonar and traditional sonar are both used in fish finders to locate fish underwater, but they operate in different ways. Traditional sonar sends out a single frequency pulse at a time, providing a snapshot of the area below the boat. On the other hand, CHIRP sonar sends out a continuous range of frequencies, from low to high, in a sweeping motion. This results in a more detailed and accurate picture of the underwater environment, including better target separation and depth readings. CHIRP sonar is also more adept at distinguishing between fish species and identifying underwater structures. Overall, CHIRP sonar provides a clearer and more comprehensive view of what is beneath the surface compared to traditional sonar.
