A general formulation regarding the relationship between scatterer properties and experimental signals was presented in a companion paper[1]. This formulation was developed for the case of acoustic wave scattering in an immersion measurement. In order to perform the theoretical calculations, the formulation requires knowledge of the radiation and reception characteristics of the probes involved and the combined properties of the pulser and the receiver (system efficiency). Thus, the objective of this paper is to discuss methods for obtaining the characteristics of measurement systems as required in the above-mentioned formulation. As an example, the case of acoustic wave scattering from a sphere of finite size is examined. Experimental verifications of results are included.
