US Patent 10578706 Wireless sonar receiver

A wireless sonar receiver is provided including a wireless receiver configured to receive sonar data from a wireless sonar transducer configured to receive sonar returns from an underwater environment as first sonar return data, convert the first sonar return data into sonar image data, and transmit the sonar image data wirelessly to the wireless sonar receiver. The wireless sonar receiver also includes a receiver processor and a receiver memory including computer program code configured to, with the receiver processor, cause the wireless sonar receiver to convert the sonar image data to second sonar return data corresponding to the sonar returns received by the wireless sonar transducer. The wireless sonar transducer also includes an output port configured to transmit the second sonar return data to a marine electronic device for processing of the second sonar return data to generate at least one sonar image for display on a user interface.
