TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of measurement, and particularly relates to a large-depth hydrophone amplitude response measurement method based on deep-sea environmental noise field depth distribution. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the working frequency of underwater acoustic communication and underwater acoustic detection equipment gradually developing towards the low frequency field and deep sea, it is urgent to establish a low frequency underwater acoustic metrological standard equipment and test method under high hydrostatic pressure to solve the problem of laboratory or field measurement of hydrophone amplitude response under high hydrostatic pressure. Under normal pressure, the "Acoustic Hydrophone Low Frequency Calibration Method (GB / T 4130-2000)" proposes a first level calibration method (including coupling cavity reciprocity method, piezoelectric compensation method, and vibrating liquid column method) and a second level calibration method (closed cavity comparison method and piston sound generator calibration method) for the sensitivity of hydrophones in the frequency band range of 1Hz-3.15kHz. The vibrating liquid column method is a method for determining the sound pressure sensitivity of the hydrophone by measuring the vibration acceleration, and this method is a national military standard. The coupling cavity and vibrating liquid column method test devices are generally not large, have certain requirements for the size of the transducer, and cannot measure multiple transducers at the same time, which is low in efficiency. The "Acoustic Transducer Measurement (GB / T 7965-2002)" proposes a free field sensitivity measurement method including reciprocity method and comparison method, which realizes the sensitivity measurement in the medium and high frequency band. The second level calibration of the hydrophone includes two methods: comparison between the calibrated hydrophone and the standard hydrophone, and comparison between the calibrated hydrophone and the standard transmitter. The first method is usually adopted, and the second method is rarely adopted. The comparison method needs to meet the free field condition. In addition, the reverberation sound field method mainly forms a relatively stable reverberation area in a limited space for testing. Due to the volume of the sound field and reflection, the ideal reverberation sound field condition cannot be met in practice. Although the spatial averaging can eliminate the unevenness of the reverberation sound field to some extent, the research and construction of the reverberation pool are not mature, and it is not yet in the practical stage. Under high hydrostatic pressure, the static capacitance of the piezoelectric element of the hydrophone will change significantly, which will have a great influence on the receiving sensitivity. Under the condition of 10MPa high hydrostatic pressure and 2-200kHz frequency band, according to the spherical wave reciprocity principle, the transfer impedance between the transmitting transducer, the reciprocal transducer and the receiving hydrophone is measured, and a standard hydrophone free field sensitivity calibration system based on a high-pressure anechoic tank is established. However, there is no effective measurement means for the sensitivity measurement of the hydrophone under higher hydrostatic pressure of 10MPa or more, and the sensitivity measurement of the hydrophone under 10MPa high hydrostatic pressure and below 2kHz low frequency band. SUMMARY
[0003] In order to overcome the prior art, the present application provides a large-depth hydrophone amplitude response measurement method based on deep-sea environmental noise field depth distribution, which matches the in-situ measurement results of the noise spectrum level received by the calibrated hydrophone or standard hydrophone under low pressure, obtains the noise field full-depth distribution law of the test sea area based on the noise field modeling results of the marine environmental parameters and sound field model during the measurement, then calculates the difference between the test results of the to-be-tested hydrophone, compensates the difference to the nominal value of the to-be-tested hydrophone amplitude response, and the to-be-tested hydrophone amplitude response in the large-depth environment is obtained. The present application provides a new way for obtaining the sensitivity of the hydrophone in the deep-sea large-depth environment.

[0011] The monopole noise source strength in unit area is expressed as
[0012] Step 4: Test the sea bottom topography, sound speed profile and other marine environmental parameters, based on the reciprocity principle of sound field, use parabolic equation or ray method to establish a numerical calculation model of noise field, superimpose the contributions of ship noise source and wind closure noise source to the total noise field, and obtain the vertical distribution characteristics of deep sea environmental noise spectrum level NL simu (z r ,f k ), calculate the simulation marine environmental spectrum level NL k f simu of one-third octave bandwidth average; z r represents the information of the depth of the water sensor to be measured recorded by the pressure sensor;
[0013] Step 5: After excluding the discrete interference in the noise data, in a fast snap time period t i , a simulation marine environmental noise spectrum level matrix based on sound field calculation is constructed on the receiving depth-frequency two-dimensional plane Based on the calibrated hydrophone, the measured noise spectrum level matrix of the water sensor to be measured and the sea trial data Analyze the marine noise data of multiple snaps (L1, L2,..., L N ), make the measured matrix of the calibrated hydrophone and the simulation matrix consistent or the error minimum, and then take the noise field vertical distribution characteristics NL simu (z r ,f k ) at this time as the standard, obtain the mean square error between the noise spectrum level matrix of the water sensor to be measured and the simulation noise spectrum level matrix Where e i (z r ,f k ) = NL simu (z r ,f k )- NL exp (z r ,f k ), compensate e 12 to the nominal sensitivity of the water sensor to be measured, and obtain the measured sensitivity of the water sensor to be measured acquire the amplitude responses (M1, M2, …, M N ) of the hydrophone to be measured at the corresponding snapshot time (t1, t2, …, t N ), calculate the average value M=(M1+M2+…+M k ) / N to reduce the error, and the average value M is the final amplitude response of the hydrophone to be measured.
