Acoustic communication in deep water exploiting multiple beams with a horizontal array.

چکیده

A recent experiment showed that coherent long-range acoustic communication (200-300 Hz) is feasible in deep water over a ∼550-km range between a source and a horizontal towed array (∼100 m aperture). The low input signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) (e.g., -10 dB) at an element level required conventional beamforming to enhance the SNR of the communication signals for subsequent channel equalization and decoding. This paper demonstrates that with a larger aperture (∼200 m), multiple adjacent beams can be exploited to further improve the communication performance, achieving an almost error-free data rate of 100 bits/s for QPSK modulation at ∼550 km range.

Long-range multi-carrier acoustic communication in deep water using a towed horizontal array.

During a recent long-range acoustic communication experiment carried out in deep water, multi-carrier Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) communication signals were transmitted with a 50 Hz bandwidth (225-275 Hz) at various source-receiver ranges from 100 to 700 km. The experiment consisted of two mobile components: (1) a source towed slowly at a speed of 2-3 knots at ∼75 m depth ...

Diversity combining for long-range acoustic communication in deep water.

A recent experiment showed that coherent long-range acoustic communication is feasible in deep water over a ∼550 km range between a source towed slowly at ∼75 m depth and a horizontal line array towed at 3.5 knots at ∼200 m depth. This letter further demonstrates that diversity combining mitigates channel fading and increases the output signal-to-noise ratio. Using sparse channel-estimate-based...

Digitally Excited Reconfigurable Linear Antenna Array Using Swarm Optimization Algorithms

This paper describes the synthesis of digitally excited pencil/flat top dual beams simultaneously in a linear antenna array constructed of isotropic elements. The objective is to generate a pencil/flat top beam pair using the excitations generated by the evolutionary algorithms. Both the beams share common variable discrete amplitude excitations and differ in variable discrete phase excitations...

Acoustic Propagation in a Wedge - Shaped Ocean with Perfectly Reflecting Boundaries

A new solution for the acoustic field produced by a point source in a wedge-shaped ocean channel with pressure-release boundaries is presented. The solution is in the form of a sum of normal modes, which reduces in the immediate vicinity of the source point to the free-field solution for a point source. The radiation field associated with each mode forms a well-defined beam which diverges as th...

A Simulation Study of Multi-path Characteristics of Acoustic Propagation in the Strait of Hormuz

Multi-path interference due to boundary reflection in shallow water acoustic communication poses a major obstacle to reliable and high-speed underwater communication system. In this study, initially 3D variations of field data such as sound speed, temperature and salinity in horizontal transects of the Strait of Hormuz were analyzed using the ROPME data. Later, data on typical sound speed ...
