Parametric Underwater Transmission Based on Pattern Time Delay Shift Coding System

الملخص EN

The technique of pattern time delay shift coding (PDS) underwater acoustic (UWA) communication based on parametric array is presented in this paper, which is easy to be implemented and robust in the spatiotemporal variable ocean environment.

The parametric array can generate low-frequency, broadband, and high-directivity beam with small-aperture.

The high directivity reduces the impact of time variant characteristics of UWA channel especially multipath effects and improves the reuse rate of underwater acoustic channel at the same time.

The wide bandwidth allows high rate communications.

The sea trial results show that it can be employed to combat multipath propagation in shallow water and achieve very low bit error rate (BER).

The theoretical research and sea trial verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed UWA method.
