수중음향 통신을 위한 혼합형 송수신기에 관한 연구

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a hybrid transceiver for underwater acoustic communication, which allows the system to reduce complexity and increase robustness in time variant underwater channel environments. It is designed in the digital domain except for amplifiers and implemented by using a multiple digital signal processors (DSPs) system. The digital modulation technique is quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) and frame synchronization is an energy (non-coherent) detection scheme based on the quadrature receiver structure. DSP implementation is based on block data parallel architecture (BDPA). We show experimental results in the underwater anechoic basin at KRISO. The results indicate that the frame synchronization is performed without PLL. Also, we show that the adaptive equalizer can compensate frame synchronization error and the correction capability is dependent on the length of equalizer.
