Reading sine wave output using arduino analogread()

thank you for your reply.

basically the signal that I’m trying to read is coming from a hydrophone (that measures ultrasonic waves that are emitted by my arduino)

So I need to measure the peak negative voltage from this signal in order to perform some calculations and measure the intensity of this ultrasonic waves. It will then act as a feedback system for me to adjust my gain (using my dig amplifier accordingly)
