Abstract

In this study, we designed and developed an underwater LED communication system composed of an LED and a photo sensor. In addition, we experimented with video data transmission in a water tank. Two communication modules were installed in the 3 m water tank, and the image data transmission test was successfully performed at a rate of 20 frames per second(FPS), image resolution of $480{\times}272$, and data communication speed of 4 Mbps.
