ABSTRACT:
Hydrophone streamer apparatus embodying concentric tube construction for achieving improved low noise operation is disclosed. A plurality of hydrophone elements are supported within a compliant inner tube at spaced intervals therealong by compliant mounting means. The inner tube is supported within an elongated outer jacket by compliant support means between the outer surface of the inner tube and the inner surface of the jacket. Suitable support means may comprise a plurality of trilobate devices each formed of three tubular sections equally spaced around the inner tube, the trilobate devices being located along the inner tube at positions between adjacent transducer elements.
