Abstract

The results of a laboratory experiment testing a method for reconstructing a sound field excited by a calibrated source in free space from measurements of a field excited by the same source in a tank with reflecting boundaries are presented. The reconstruction procedure is based on the use of an etalon acoustic monopole and comparison of the fields emitted by it from specially selected points of the tank with the field of the calibrated source. In the experiment, the frequency dependence of the field intensity of the calibrated source averaged over a sphere of large radius was evaluated.
