Two different kinds of miniature PVDF hydrophones of 0.6mm and 1mm in diameter have been calibrated for their sensitivity responses using two methods. One of which is based on a conventional methodology, the reciprocity calibration, and the other is based on nonlinear propagation of sound beams. Specifically, ultrasound beams of finite amplitude generate waveform distortions due to the inherent nonlinearity of a medium, and plenty of harmonics appear significantly in the beam. The magnitudes of individual harmonic components are theoretically predicted by a model equation that we propose for precise description of nonlinear sound beams. The harmonic pressures are strongly dependent on source conditions such as driving frequency and source pressure level. The sensitivity response of output voltage to pressure at the fundamental frequency is measured by the reciprocity method. The information of the fundamental frequency source conditions uniquely determines all the pressure magnitudes of higher harmonics. By detailed comparison of harmonic pressures between experiment and theory, the calibration in the frequency range of 2.5 to 20MHz has been performed for the two different hydrophones. It has been concluded that the sensitivity responses for the hydrophones are overall in good agreement with the attached data sheets within 1.5dB differences.

采用两种方法校准了直径为 0.6mm 和 1mm 的两种不同类型的微型 PVDF 水听器的灵敏度响应。其中一种基于传统方法，即互易校准，另一种基于声束的非线性传播。具体来说，有限振幅的超声波束由于介质固有的非线性而产生波形畸变，并且波束中明显出现大量谐波。理论上，各个谐波分量的幅度可以通过我们为精确描述非线性声束而提出的模型方程来预测。谐波压力很大程度上取决于源条件，例如驱动频率和源压力水平。通过互易法测量输出电压对基频压力的灵敏度响应。基频源条件信息唯一地决定了所有高次谐波的压力大小。通过实验与理论谐波压力的详细比较，对两种不同的水听器在2.5~20MHz频率范围内进行了校准。结论是，水听器的灵敏度响应总体上与所附数据表非常一致，误差在 1.5dB 以内。
