时间延迟谱法在水听器灵敏度校准的应用

Application of time delay spectrometry in sensitivity calibration of hydrophone

  • 摘要: 在实验室环境中,受限于水池(5.50*3.50*3.50 m)的有限尺度,声波在池壁的反射无法完全消除。尤其在低频段易形成反射声场叠加,这会显著干扰水听器灵敏度的校准精度。而将时间延迟谱法应用于自由场比较法校准,通过使用跟踪带通滤波器完成对直达波信号中叠加的反射信号的滤除,可以得到所需的直达波信号,扩展灵敏度校准的频率下限。并且针对传统时间延迟谱法必须利用附带中心频率滤波器的频谱分析仪作为测量仪器的不足,提出了利用软件算法和数据采集系统来实现硬件跟踪带通滤波及数据处理的功能,通过实验比较验证了使用软件处理实现时间延迟谱法对水听器灵敏度校准的可行性。实验数据表明,在实验室消声水池环境下,相较于传统脉冲声法,该方法可显著抑制池壁反射声场导致的测量误差,实现1~12 kHz频段的水听器灵敏度校准,测量结果的扩展不确定度为1.3 dB。

     

    Abstract: In laboratory environments, the finite dimensions of water tanks (5.50 × 3.50 × 3.50 m) limit the ability to fully eliminate acoustic reflections from the tank walls. Particularly in low-frequency ranges, superposition of reflected sound fields tends to occur, significantly compromising the calibration accuracy of hydrophone sensitivity. By integrating Time Delay Spectrometry (TDS) into the free-field comparison calibration method—and employing a tracking band-pass filter to suppress reflected signals superimposed on the direct wave—the desired direct-wave signal can be effectively extracted, thereby extending the lower frequency limit of sensitivity calibration. To overcome the limitation of conventional TDS, which requires spectrum analyzers equipped with center-frequency-tuned filters as measurement instruments, this study proposes a software-based implementation that uses algorithmic processing and data acquisition systems to emulate hardware-like tracking band-pass filtering and real-time data processing. Experimental verification confirms the feasibility of software-implemented TDS for hydrophone sensitivity calibration. Results show that, in an anechoic tank environment, the proposed technique effectively suppresses measurement errors induced by wall-reflected sound fields—outperforming traditional pulsed-sound methods—and achieves hydrophone sensitivity calibration over the 1–12 kHz frequency range with an expanded uncertainty of 1.3 dB.
