Abstract. Examples of solutions to measurement problems employing the Hilbert Transform for data processing are given. Implementation aspects of the Hilbert Trans­form implementation, based on Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), are noted. The approaches to assessing the steady-state mode of a short-term tone pulse based on the behavior of its envelope, instantaneous values of phase and frequency are considered. The effective­ness of applying the concept of a minimum-phase system to a hydrophone in combination with the possibilities of processing the hydrophone frequency response using the Hilbert Transform is demonstrated. An acoustic method for determining the effective radius of a hydrophone is considered. A novel of the phase-pulse method for measuring the propaga­tion time of a sound impulse from the projector to the receiver is proposed. Approaches that allow overcoming the limitations imposed on the accuracy of measurements by the time-frequency uncertainty relation and the advantages of the proposed methods in com­parison with known ones are discussed.

Keywords: measurement data processing, minimum phase system, Hilbert Transform, tone-burst, transient process, effective radius of hydrophone, time of sound pulse pro­pa­gation from the projector to the receiver.
