Analysis of Impulse Responses Measured in Motion in a Towing Tank

The growing interest in developing autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and creating sensor networks (USNs) has led to a need for communication tools environments. For obvious reasons, wireless means of are the most desirable. However, conducting research real conditions is troublesome costly. Moreover, as hydroacoustic propagation change very significantly, even during day, assessment proposed methods difficult. Therefore, literature, there considered simulators based on measurements acoustic (UWA) channels. these make an assumption that, transmission elementary signals, impulse response does not change. In this article, authors present results realized towing tank where transmitter could move with precisely set velocity show that analyzed channel was non-stationary, time single chirp signal. article presents evaluation method stationarity at transmission, which should be treated novelty. There also analysis responses measured motion tank.
