چکیده

Underwater acoustic channels are band-limited and reverberant, posing many obstacles to reliable, phase-coherent acoustic communications. In terrestrial wireless sensor networks, the nodes use radio frequency (RF) to build up the communication. In underwater environments, due to water absorption, radio wave does not work well. Compared to radio waves, sound has superior propagation characteristics in water, making it the preferred technology for underwater communications. While many high frequency communication experiments have been conducted in shallow water, few have carried out systematic studies on the channel properties at a time scale relevant for communications.

Implementation 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...
