The invention relates to the technical field of array cable
hydrophone performance measurement, and in particular relates to a
sound pressure calibration method for a long
linear array cable
hydrophone. The method comprises the steps of S1 coiling a long
linear array cable on a hollow measurement frame according to a certain interval distance, and meanwhile, keeping a
hydrophone array element fixed at each relative position of the array cable; S2 vertically suspending and fixing a low-
frequency sound source on the hollow measurement frame by using a nylon
rope, tensioning the circumference ofthe sound source in four directions by using the nylon
rope, so that the sound source does not swing forwards, backwards, leftwards and rightwards, and the circumferential
radiation center of the sound source and the measured
hydrophone array element are positioned at the same horizontal position; S3 installing a standard hydrophone at the position, a certain distance away from the sound source, of the hollowed measurement frame, and the standard hydrophone and the sound source being located at the same horizontal position without swing; and S4 hoisting the whole mounted hollow measurement frame into water by using a steel cable. During working, no matter what the posture of the
underwater measurement frame changes, the influence of
water flow and the deviation of depth do not influence the measuring process.
