초록

심해 장거리 통신에서는 전달 손실이 적은 낮은 반송 주파수가 효율적이지만, 좁은 대역폭을 가지는 제약이 따른다. 대역폭의 감소는 전송률의 감소를 의미하며, 제한된 대역폭을 가진 환경에서 전송률을 증가시키기 위해서는 고차 변조 기법으로 설계될 필요가 있다. 본 논문은 고차 변조 기법으로 설계된 장거리 수중음향통신 데이터 분석 결과를 제시한다. 2020년 10월 동해에서 예인 음원을 이용한 장거리 해상실험 (23 km ~)이 수행되었고, 수직 선 배열을 통해 데이터를 획득하였다. 본 연구팀은 위상 변조 방식이 적용된 Phase Shift Keying (PSK) 계열 신호와 위상 및 진폭 변조 방식이 적용된 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) 계열의 신호를 송신하였으며, 구체적으로 각 계열별 두 종류의 신호를 설계하였다; 1) PSK : quadrature PSK and 8PSK, 2) QAM : 8QAM and 16QAM. 데이터 분석을 위해 수신 신호와 채널 임펄스 응답 사이의 상관성을 활용하여 심볼 간 간섭을 완화시키는 시역전 처리가 적용되었다. 23 km 거리 데이터에 대해 모든 변조 방식이 성공적으로 복조됨으로써 장거리 환경에서 고차 변조 기법의 활용 가능성을 실험적으로 확인하였다.

For long-range communication in deep water, low carrier frequency is efficient due to a decrease in transmission loss. However, there is a limitation in that the data rate decreases due to a narrow bandwith. In order to increase the data rate in an environment with a limited bandwidth, it is necessary to design a higher-order modulation scheme. This paper analyzes the long-range communication data modulated by higher-order modulation schemes. The long-range communication experiment (23 km ~) was conducted in East Sea in October 2020. During the experiment, a vertical line array was utilized and communication sequences were modulated by Phase Shift Keying (PSK) and Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) schemes and transmitted by a towed source. In more detail, PSK modulation consists of quadrature PSK and 8PSK, QAM modulation consists of 8QAM and 16QAM. Time reversal processing is applied to mitigate inter-symbol interference by utilizing the correlation between received signals and channel impulse responses. All modulation schemes show successful results at 23 km range, demonstrating the feasibility of higher-order modulation in long-range communication.
