In the course of making TS (target strength) measurements of hollow aluminum cylinders of length 91 cm and 28 cm in the frequency range 30-36 kHz, the authors realized that their measurements were being corrupted at beam aspect because the source and receiver were in the near-field of the target. Fortunately, they were able to increase the range and reduce this effect, but they also derived a correction to the near-field TS measurements that could be applied if sufficient range were unavailable. The derivation and application of this beam-aspect TS correction is the subject of the present workDownloads
