Hydrophone performance in sediment
No full textIn situ measurements of acoustic signals in marine sediment are oftenperformed using hydrophones which have been designed for use in water. Typically, thesehydrophones are characterised for transmit or receive sensitivity in water. When thehydrophone is submerged in a medium other than water, the sensitivity (both amplitudeand phase response) of the hydrophone, and its resonant characteristics, can bedramatically affected as a result of the differences in acoustic impedance of the mediumand the different coupling to the medium. To investigate these changes, a series ofmeasurements of electrical impedance and receive sensitivity were performed on ahydrophone in fine sand sediment using a novel method which does not require a prioriknowledge of the absorption in the medium. The initial results of this investigation arepresented in this paper demonstrating the change in the hydrophone characteristics whenused in sediment at frequencies above 40 kHz, and the factors affecting hydrophoneperformance in sediment are discussed
