Theoretical and experimental methodology are presented for accurately determining the effective radii of unfocused, circular plane piston transducers as well as using tone burst hydrophone measurements to verify steady-state theoretical calculations. Experiments using two specially fabricated unfocused, composite piezoelectric transducers demonstrate the validity of the methodology. For spherically focused circular transducers, a simple model is used to estimate the transient diffraction encountered in co-axial flat hydrophone measurements.
