Short Paper:R&D of a Dual mode acoustic modem testbed for shallow water channels
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent years witnessed an increasing requirement of marine missions like oceanographic investigation, environmental monitoring, underwater structure inspection and sea bottom resource exploitation, which urged the R&D of high performance underwater acoustic (UWA) modems. However, as underwater acoustic channels pose multiple difficulties such as multipath, time-space selectivity, frequency dependent noise, and Doppler shifts on transmission, currently there is not a single modulation strategy that can provide high data rate, energy efficiency and channel robustness simultaneously. Enlightened by the similar dual mode (DM) systems developed in wireless channels, this paper presents the R&D of a DM UWA modem testbed system, which enables the switch between DSSS and OFDM scheme to accommodate different channel situations. Experimental results obtained in a physical shallow water channel demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system.

Shallow Water Acoustic Impulse Response Measurement
LONG-TERM GOALS Goals for this project include: 1) the characterization of ocean acoustic impulse response (OAIR) in shallow water under various environmental conditions, 2) the development of predictive and synoptic methodologies/models linking acoustic communications system (modem) performance to environmental factors. Ultimately this information can be used to develop a robust acoustic modem...
متن کاملSoftware-driven sensor networks for short-range shallow water applications
Most existing underwater networks target deep and long range oceanic environments, which has led to the design of power hungry and expensive underwater communication hardware. Because of prohibitive monetary and energy cost of currently overengineered communication hardware, dense deployments of shallow water sensor networks remain an elusive goal. To enable dense shallow water networks, we pro...
متن کاملEvaluating the Effects of Dual Frequency Sonication Parameters on Acoustic Cavitation by Chemical Dosimeter Using Iodide
Background and Aims: Production of acoustic cavitation by sonication has been recently recommended as a targeted treatment. The experimental results from studies indicate that the activity of cavitation generated by bi- or multi-frequency ultrasound irradiation is higher than that caused by single frequency irradiation. In this study, effects dual (1 MHz and 40 kHz) and single frequency soni...
متن کاملCoral reef and tropical shallow water soundscapes
Much is known about deep ocean ambient noise, rather less about the more highly structured and variable noise in temperate coastal waters, and rather little about the tropical shallow waters that include coral reefs and the biological diversity these ecosystems support. Interest in shallow water acoustics has been growing over the last decade, and more recently specific interest has bloomed in ...
