Electronic – Solid state device for switching (muxing) a bipolar high current signal

I'm looking into solid state relays for an application where I need to switch between two different transducers to allow two different modes of operation for an echo sounder. Basically a MUX that allows selecting either transducer #1 or transducer #2.

Short overview of how an echo sounder works: the echo sounder generates a short pulse (1-10 ms, 60 Vrms) which is emitted through the transducer. Then afterwards the echo sounder goes into listening mode receiving the returned echo which reflects of objects and the bottom as it travels through the water column.

Developing a MUX has some challenging requirements for this kind of signal:

• transmit requires a relatively high voltage signal to pass through (max 60 Vrms sinusoid of 1-10 ms duration), whereas when the echo sounder is listening it will receive a signal which has a low amplitude (< 10 mV).

• The signal should pass through without distortion (close to linear transfer curve).

• The received signal should not be colored by noise (high S/N ratio, > ~90 dB).

• Signal is bipolar.

Is this even possible with SSRs? A better device? With solid state relays I'm wondering if a device capable of relatively high current will not perform well for low signals during receiving (non-linearity or too noisy). Of course a mechanical relay would solve all these but might not last as long if switching frequently and reliability is important (i.e. years).

Assumptions: Both transmit and received signals have no DC component. Transmit is a pure tone of e.g. 35 kHz. The received signals will be more wideband, but will be bandpass filtered in the receiver. The switching between transducer 1 and 2 can be restricted to only occur when system is turned off. Transducers are ceramic. Impedance of transducer at transmit frequency is on the order of 1.5 kOhm. Assume max 40 mA inst. current during transmit pulse. Assume there is no ringing in existing circuit as transmit pulse has smooth envelope (ramp up/down). The transmit circuitry is only connected for as long as the pulse is transmitted, afterwards the receiver is connected and listens until the next transmit ping.
