Abstract
Because of the complexity of the underwater environment, the communication has difficulties that can differ significantly from those in air, The signal is degraded by many random noises. Furthermore, the limit of the bandwidth is a big issue in underwater communication. Therefore, the array signal processing can be adapted to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. In this paper, we propose a potential method for underwater communication based upon source tracking techniques. Also, a new tracking model by using a multi-array sonar and detail of the multi-array sonar configuration are shown in this paper. The experiment results demonstrated the receiver configuration is very potential to solve communication problems, especially in the underwater environment.
