Abstract

The problems arising from the generation of harmonic distortion by underwater sound devices are discussed. Expressions are derived for the harmonic distortion of spherically propagating finite-amplitude sound waves, and distortion is calculated for a typical high-intensity sound source. The calculation illustrates that finite-amplitude effects can produce a significant amount of second-harmonic distortion in a practical situation.
