Comparison of Computed Source Levels of Low-Frequency Under-Water AcousticTransducers Based on Measurements in the Near-Field and in the Far-Field Respectively

摘要

Monopole source levels of three different low-frequency acoustic transducers havebeen computed from near-field and far-field experiments respectively. In the report, the results are compared. A conclusion is that far-field experimnts are best suited to compute the monopole source levels of low-frequency underwater acoustic transducers.
