Abstract

The high-frequency calibration of a plane disk hydrophone of large diameter by the usual plane-wave reciprocity method is a difficult task, requiring a large anechoic tank and precise mechanical alignment gear. A new and absolute calibration technique utilizing the radiation pressure of a standing wave system is described. The calibration curve of a barium titanate hydrophone of diameter 1.5 in. and of resonant frequency 1.0 mc is presented over the frequency range of 300 to 5000 kc.
