Research on electroacoustic characteristics and measurements of spherically focusing transducer

In the paper the electro-acoustic characteristics and measurement methods of spherically focusing transducer are studied. The relevant parameters and measurements including acoustic output power, radiation conductance, elec-tro-acoustic efficiency, free-field transmitting voltage (current) response, free-field voltage sensitivity, effective area, ef-fective aperture, acoustic focal length, beam width and electric impedance (admittance) are introduced. The methods based on RFB and self-reciprocity calibration are particularly described, and the relation between the two methods is discussed. The calculation methods with a set of table for the correction coefficients of diffraction and the average am-plitude reflection coefficients in self-reciprocity calibration are given. The results show that the measurement principles and methods are available and feasible.
