Underwater acoustics - Hydrophones - Calibration of hydrophones - Part 1: Procedures for free-field calibration of hydrophones (IEC 60565-1:2020)
This part of IEC 60565 specifies methods and procedures for free-field calibration of
hydrophones, as well as individual electroacoustic transducers that can be used as
hydrophones (receivers) and/or projectors (source transducers). Two general types of
calibration are covered within this document: absolute calibration using the method of threetransducer
spherical-wave reciprocity, and relative calibration by comparison with a reference
device which has already been the subject of an absolute calibration.
The maximum frequency range of the methods specified in this document is from 200 Hz to
1 MHz. The lowest acoustic frequency of application will depend on a number of factors, and
will typically be in the range 200 Hz to 5 kHz depending mainly on the dimensions of the chosen
test facility, The highest frequency of application for the methods described here is 1 MHz.
Procedures for pressure hydrophone calibration at low frequencies can be found in
IEC 60565-2 [1]1. Procedures for hydrophone calibration at acoustic frequencies greater than
1 MHz are covered by IEC 62127-2 [2].
Excluded from the scope of this document are low-frequency pressure calibrations of
hydrophones, which are described in IEC 60565-2 [1]. Also excluded are calibrations of digital
hydrophones and systems, calibration of marine autonomous acoustic recorders, calibration
of acoustic vector sensors such as particle velocity sensors and pressure gradient
hydrophones, calibration of passive sonar arrays consisting of multiple hydrophones, and
calibration of active sonar arrays consisting of projectors and hydrophones.
This document presents a description of the requirements for free-field calibration in terms of
test facility, equipment and instrumentation, signal processing, and frequency limitations. A
description of achievable uncertainty and rules for the presentation of the calibration data are
provided. Also included are informative annexes that provide additional guidance on
• measurement of directional response of a hydrophone or projector,
• measurement of electrical impedance of hydrophones and projectors,
• electrical loading corrections,
• acoustic far-field criteria in underwater acoustic calibration,
• pulsed techniques in free-field calibrations,
• assessment of uncertainty in the free-field calibration of hydrophones and projectors,
• derivation of the formulae for three-transducer spherical-wave reciprocity calibrations,
• calibration using travelling-wave tubes,
• calibration of hydrophones using optical interferometry, and
• calibrations in reverberant water tanks using continuous signals.

Acoustique sous-marine - Hydrophones - Étalonnage des hydrophones - Partie 1: Procédures d'étalonnage en champ libre des hydrophones (IEC 60565-1:2020)
L'IEC 60565-1:2020 spécifie les méthodes et procédures d'étalonnage en champ libre des hydrophones, ainsi que des transducteurs électroacoustiques individuels qui peuvent être utilisés comme hydrophones (récepteurs) et/ou projecteurs (transducteurs sources). Deux grands types d'étalonnage sont couverts par le présent document: l'étalonnage absolu utilisant la méthode par réciprocité d’onde sphérique à trois transducteurs, et l'étalonnage relatif par comparaison avec un dispositif de référence qui a déjà fait l'objet d'un étalonnage absolu.
La plage de fréquences maximale des méthodes spécifiées dans le présent document est comprise entre 200 Hz et 1 MHz. La fréquence acoustique la plus faible de l'application dépend d'un certain nombre de facteurs, et est en général comprise entre 200 Hz et 5 kHz selon les dimensions de l'installation d'essai choisie. La fréquence la plus élevée de l'application pour les méthodes décrites ici est de 1 MHz.
Les procédures d'étalonnage de l'hydrophone à pression aux basses fréquences peuvent être consultées dans l'IEC 60565-2 [1] . Les procédures d'étalonnage de l'hydrophone aux fréquences acoustiques supérieures à 1 MHz sont couvertes par l'IEC 62127-2 [2].
Les étalonnages en pression basse fréquence des hydrophones sont exclus du domaine d'application du présent document. Ils sont décrits dans l'IEC 60565-2 [1]. Sont également exclus les étalonnages des hydrophones et systèmes numériques, des enregistreurs acoustiques marins autonomes, des capteurs vectoriels acoustiques (capteurs de vitesse de particules et hydrophones à gradient de pression, par exemple), des réseaux sonars passifs composés de plusieurs hydrophones et des réseaux sonars actifs composés de projecteurs et d'hydrophones.
Le présent document donne une description des exigences relatives à l'étalonnage en champ libre en ce qui concerne l'installation, le matériel et les appareils d'essai, le traitement du signal et les limites de fréquence. Une description de l'incertitude pouvant être obtenue et les règles de présentation des données d'étalonnage sont fournies. Sont également incluses des annexes informatives donnant des recommandations supplémentaires
• relatives au mesurage de la réponse directionnelle d'un hydrophone ou d'un projecteur,
• relatives au mesurage de l'impédance électrique des hydrophones et des projecteurs,
• sur les corrections de charge électrique,
• relatives aux critères de champ acoustique lointain dans l'étalonnage acoustique sous-marin,
• relatives aux techniques par impulsions dans les étalonnages en champ libre,
• relatives à l'évaluation de l'incertitude dans l'étalonnage en champ libre des hydrophones et des projecteurs,
• sur la déduction des formules pour les étalonnages par réciprocité d'onde sphérique à trois transducteurs,
• relatives à l'étalonnage à l'aide de tubes à ondes progressives,
• relatives à l'étalonnage des hydrophones par interférométrie optique, et
• relatives à l'étalonnage dans des cuves d'eau réverbérées à l'aide de signaux continus.
