Measure the attenuator readings % and corresponding to the amplitudes of the transmitted pulse and the direct pulse when the sample is placed. The attenuation is measured by comparing the electric pulse E after the standard resistor voltage division, after attenuation by the standard attenuator αd, with the pulse voltage shown by the hydrophone and making them equal (α=2Q lg).

Thus, the insertion loss is:

The distance between the hydrophone and the sample should be as small as possible, and the waveforms of the reflected pulse and the direct pulse should be separated.

Appendix A
Measurement of insertion loss and echo reduction under oblique incidence (reference part)
In many underwater acoustic engineering works, it is necessary to measure the response of the mother material sample with the change of the incident angle A1 insertion loss
The transducer and the sample are arranged as shown in Figure 3, and the measurement device is shown in Figure 2. During the measurement, the sample between the transmitter and the hydrophone is rotated in its original position, and the attenuator reading corresponding to the amplitude of the transmitted pulse is measured at different incident angles. The sample is taken out, and the attenuator reading aa corresponding to the direct pulse is measured, and the response of the insertion loss with the change of the incident angle can be obtained.
When the incident angle gradually increases, the effective sensitivity of the sample will gradually decrease, so the measurement error will increase, so it is best to use a directional transmitting transducer, and the more directional, the better.

The measurement method is to calculate the values ​​of AO1 and O according to the required incident angle, move the transmitting transducer and hydrophone to point A and point B, and measure the attenuator readings a, and E corresponding to the amplitudes of the reflected pulse and the direct pulse: = a - a - 20 e

If you want to measure the response of the reflection factor changing with the incident angle, you can make scales on the hanging rod according to the calculated values ​​in advance, and pre-calibrate the positions of the transmitter and hydrophone. During the measurement process, corresponding to different incident angles, you only need to keep moving the corresponding hanging points of the hanging transmitter and hydrophone. When measuring with the pulse method, in order to separate the reflected pulse and the direct pulse waveform, the distance C01 and 0) from the hanging rod to the plate to be measured should meet r<(一d,)/, and should also meet the free field far field conditions. The characteristic of this measurement method is that under various incident angles, the reflection point 0 is always located at the same position of the plate to be measured, and it is also relatively simple and convenient.
Note, (I; and E, the measurement of oblique radiation response is carried out in free field using the pulse method, and its requirements are given in the text. ② It is best to use a finger transmitter when measuring.
