Abstract :
This paper treats the fabrication problems and test results of an acoustic lens built in accordance with the acoustic design presented in an accompanying paper. Specific areas covered include the selection of the internal fluid, the window, construction of the case, sound-absorbing lining, and acoustic test results. With a SOAB sound-absorbing lining, the lens model worked well, giving horizontal beamwidths of 
and vertical widths of 
. There is still a problem of compatibility between the SOAB and the Freon TF lens fluid selected.
and vertical widths of . There is still a problem of compatibility between the SOAB and the Freon TF lens fluid selected.Keywords :
