Abstract

The underwater sound field in the vicinity of interference maxima can be approximated locally by a quasi-plane wave. The sensitivity measurement technique discussed in the article calls for measurements to be performed at times when the calibrated and the standard hydrophones reside in the zone of an interference maximum of the sound field generated by a moving radiator. The motion of the latter can be utilized to formulate a simple dynamic algorithm for monitoring the entry of acoustic transducers into the zone of a maximum of the sound field.
