CONCLUSION
The calibration procedure allows:
• To measure the free-field sensitivity of the underwater sound receiver up to frequencies at which the influence of diffraction can be neglected;
• To investigate the development of diffraction distortions from their occurrence at very low frequencies that until recently have been unavailable for free-field calibration not only for the recorder, but also for the hydrophone.
• In order to take into account correctly the influence of the directivity of the recorder in the budget of the uncertainty of the underwater noise measuring, a family of frequency responses is necessary, but not a traditionally used directivity responses at discrete frequencies.
• It is advisable to perform international comparison in a field of recorder calibration, on the results of which to summarize the experience of different laboratories.
• The suggested measurement procedure can be considered as a contribution to the solution of the problem of free-field calibration at low frequencies of the recorder as a whole single design.
