A hydrophone was used to measure the longitudinal and transverse distributions of the amplitude and phase of the sound pressure fields of the incident and conjugate waves near the emitter focus; their mutual correspondence was demonstrated. It was shown that both beams are indeed vortex ones; the conjugate beam has the same chirality as the incident beam.
