Research: Underwater signal transmission

 

The transmission and reception of signals in the underwater environment impose some challenges due to the behavior of the underwater channel. For the transmission of signals over large ranges, the underwater channel is only suitable for acoustic signal transmission. The attenuation, multipath signal pathway as well as slow speed of sound in water imposes some major challenges. The aim of the research is to overcome the challenges by means of signal processing techniques. The transmitted signal is affected by noise and artifacts due to the multipath environment. Restoring the transmitted signals is essential to be able to perform communication between underwater nodes. Typical examples are the communication with divers and submarines. Both traditional signal processing and newer approaches such as neural networks are part of the research.
