A Study on the Wide-Sense Stationarity of the Underwater Acoustic Channel for Non-coherent Communication Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we study the wide sense stationarity of the energy of the underwater acoustic channel impulse response and we provide an estimate of the interval during which the wide sense stationarity property holds. We analyze the SPACE08 data set, which has been collected near Martha’s Vineyard Island during October 2008. In this data set the environmental conditions such as the height of the waves and the wind direction vary significantly in time. We consider the time series recorded in four different fixed positions. This allows us to compare the results between different locations and environmental conditions.

A Study on the Wide-sense Stationarity of the Underwater Acoustic Channel for Coherent Communication Systems
In this paper, we test the Wide-Sense Stationarity (WSS) of the estimation error achieved by an exponentially weighted recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm, used to estimate the channel impulse response. We study the stationarity of this process because it is closely tied to the bit error rate performance of adaptive equalizers used for symbol estimation. The predictability of this error pro...
متن کاملOn the Practical Aspects of Joint Passive Phase Conjugation and Equalization Underwater Communication Systems
Underwater acoustic communication systems suffer from the channel impairments which results in time spreading of the transmitted signal. In underwater environment, multiple replicas of the transmitted signal are received at the receiver through different paths, which causes significant Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI). Decision Feedback Equalizers (DFE) was utilized to overcome this type of inte...

This study evaluates the impact of underwater ambient noise using seven real noise samples; Dolphin, Rain, Ferry, Sonar, Bubbles, Lightning, and Outboard Motor in three frequency ranges in extremely low frequency (ELF) band. The ELF band is the most significant bandwidth for underwater long-range communication. ELF band which is extended from 3 to 3000 Hz clearly, faces bandwidth limitation. Me...
متن کاملImplementation of an adaptive burst DQPSK receiver over shallow water acoustic channel
In an environment such as underwater channel where placing test equipments are difficult to handle, it is much practical to have hardware simulators to examine suitably designed transceivers (transmitter/receiver). The simulators of this kind will then allow researchers to observe their intentions and carry out repetitive tests to find suitable digital coding/decoding algorithms. In this p...
متن کاملDesign, manufacture and the evaluation of Fluvial Acoustic Tomography System (FATS)
Underwater Acoustic Tomography (AT) system transmits acoustic waves into the water. The AT systems continuously measure the physical characteristics of the flow in rivers, seas and the oceans. The AT systems are synchronized via a GPS clock connectied to the satellites. Hence, the systems transmit the acoustic waves at the same time. The systems record the arrival time of acoustic waves. After ...
