Abstract
An acoustic vector sensor mounted in a housing is provided for measuring ultra low frequency acoustic wave particle velocities in a liquid, comprising a horn for amplifying the acoustic wave particle velocities, and a neutrally buoyant object supported in a liquid contained in the horn. The neutrally buoyant object, in reacting to the amplified acoustic wave particle velocities, produces displacements that are sensitively measured.
