Experimental Study of a Broadband Parametric Acoustic Array for Sub-Bottom Profiling in Shallow Water

<div>Source levels of the parametric array. The density of water is 1 kg/m<sup>3</sup>, and the sound absorption coefficients at 300 kHz, 40 kHz, 30 kHz, 20 kHz, and 10 kHz are 23.4 dB/km, 0.416 dB/km, 0.234 dB/km, 0.104 dB/km, and 0.026 dB/km, respectively, at 15°C.</div>
