The paper presents selected acoustic power amplifiers from among those currently available. The results of a series of measurements characteris ing the amplifiers are presented. The measured amplitude and phase characteristics as a function of frequency for four selected amplifiers are analysed. The spectra of the output signal in the band from 4 kHz to 30 kHz are presented. The usefulness of the selected amplifiers in an underwater communication system is assessed.
