In underwater wireless communication, needs for long distance communication using the high frequency are surpassing ones of short range communication by ultrasonic wave, and demands for transmitting and receiving various data such as voice or high resolution image data are increasing as well. In this work, we studied the effects on the real underwater communication depending on the difference of digital modulation methods. Simulation shows that only the performance of GMSK among many other PSK based modulation schemes(BPSK, QPSK, MSK, GMSK) is significant. Test condition simulates the oceanographic conditions along the 207-survey line, 15Km south of Busan and SNR is maintained 35dB or below. Simulated tests are composed of both transmitting image data($3{\times}10^5$ pixel, 4 bit per pixel) and voice communication($10^{-2}$BER, channel capacity of 1Kbps). Test results show that there are gain of about 7 seconds in transmission time in image transmission case, where channel capacity for BPSK, QPSK, and MSK and for GMSK were 65 Kbps and 45 Kbps, respectively and gain of about 8Km in distances in voice communication case.

Since the underwater telephone was sold in a short time, there are few repair equipments. And equipment is difficult to locate fault. Equipment with transducers must be inspected underwater, and a relative naval vessels is required to perform an operational check. So we developed a tester device to test the transmission card through the spectrum and transmission power, and to develop a device that can conduct operational tests on land. Therefore, the development of the tester reduces the incidence of naval vessels and contributes to the development of domestic underwater communication test equipment.

In this paper, we present a frame synchronization scheme for high oversampling rate based QPSK receiver system in the underwater acoustic burst transmission. The proposed frame synchronization scheme determines the frame synchronization by comparing a threshold value with the correlation between the received symbol sequence and rotated 16-symbol length CAZAC sequence, which is made by dividing into two 8-symbol length sequences and then concatenating the latter sequence and the former one. If the correlation value is bigger than the threshold value, the frame detector determines that the frame synchronization is achieved at that sample. Also, the approximated performance of designed frame detector is derived and it is well fit the simulated result.

In this paper we have implemented a 3-D PL (Position Location) system to estimate the 3-dimensional position of a moving object in underwater environments. In this research, we let four sensors fixed in different Positions and moving sensorsto communicate with each other to find the 3-dementianal positions for both the fixed and moving objects. Using this we were also able to control the moving object remotely. When finding the position, we calculated the norm of the Jacobian matrix every iteration in the Newton algorithm. Also by using a different initial value for calculating the solution when the norm became higher than the critical value and the solution from the inverse matrix became unstable, we could find a more reliable position for the moving object. The proposed algorithm was used in implementing a DSP system capable of real-time position location. To verify the performance, experiments were done in a water tank. As a result we could see that our system could located the position of an object every 2 seconds with a error range of 5cm.

In this paper, the measuring method of underwater acoustic communication channel characteristics in the shallow water using the autocorrelation characteristic of PN sequence and the undorwater communication channel analysis results from the received signal sample data are described. For measuring the underwater acoustic communication channel characteristics, two PN sequences are used as a transmitted data of I-channel and Q-channel of QPSK symbol and QPSK signal is transmitted with symbol rate of 5 kHz and carrier frequency of 25 kHz. In the receiver the received signal, which pass through 675 m and 1492 m, is sampled and then stored. Using the stored sample data, the scattering function, coherent time, delay power profile, spaced-tone autocorrelation function, delay spread, and coherent bandwidth of each propagation distance cases are analyzed. Based on the analysis results, several guidelines are suggested for the design and implementation of underwater transmission system.

The sea flower begins at the water-sediment Interface. In the ocean basins, the sound velocity of the sediments at the interface vary from a few percent less than the sound speed in water just above the interface to somewhat greater. Marine sediments are unconsolidated; that is, the particles are not cemented of fused together. Samples feel like mud, muddy sand, sand, and so on. With the theoretical knowledge, the systematic research on the searching capability of Ultra Sonic Signal will be continued to identify the influence against the sea water subject. In this research, signal will be analyzed according to the influence range, power and sensitiveness of Ultra Sonic Generator. In addition, the radius of Ultra Sonic Signal will be included. The experimental field work will be executed at Nockdong, Pulkyo and other places well known as a habitat of Pan Shell.

Main design issues for MAC (Medium Access Control) protocol in underwater sensor networks are long propagation delay caused by the low speed of sound, difficult synchronization, and energy-limited node's life. We aimed to mitigate the problems of strict synchronization and channel inefficiency of TDMA and also the throughput degradation induced by unavoidable collisions in contention based MAC protocols. This proposed protocol improved not only the energy efficiency by adopting a sleep-mode, but also the throughput by reducing collisions and increasing channel efficiency.

In this paper, we represent an implementation of burst QPSK receiver for underwater acoustic communication. Transmitter sends 5,000 symbols at 25kHz frequency with 200 kHz D/A sampling rate. The received signal is sampled at 100 kHz. Implemented receiver acquires the frame synchronization, coarse symbol timing estimate, and coarse phase offset estimate using 32 symbol length preamble. The estimated phase offset is used to initiate of 2nd order PLL. The transmission experiment results show that PLL is a mandatory to compensate Doppler shift due to the variation of tidal current.

ADCP(Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler)는 유수의 흐름을 방해하지 않으면서 수중에 발사된 음파의 도플러 효과를 이용하여 3차원 유속 측정이 가능한 초음파 유량측정장비이다. 2009년부터 다양한 하천에서 ADCP 사용량이 증가하면서 ADCP를 이용한 유량측정 기법과 현장 적용상의 문제, 자료처리 과정에서의 문제점들이 발생하고 있다. 이런 문제점들을 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 사례들이 나타났다. 첫 번째 하상이 매우 불규칙한 단면의 부적절한 측정 사례, 두 번째 하안 수직벽 존재에 따른 단면의 부적절한 측정 사례, 세 번째 수심 오측이 다수 발생한 측정 사례, 네 번째 유속 프로파일 결측이 다수 발생한 측정 사례, 다섯 번째 통신문제로 인한 주기적인 결측이 발생한 측정 사례, 여섯 번째 홍수기 고농도 유사로 인해 결측이 발생한 사례, 일곱 번째 수중식생의 영향으로 수심 및 유속 프로파일 오측이 발생한 측정 사례, 여덟 번째 이동상 조건이 발생한 측정 사례 등 많은 문제들이 발생하였다. 본 연구에서는 수중식생의 영향으로 수심 및 유속 프로파일 오측이 발생하는 사례에 대해 개선할 수 있는 방안을 연구하였다. ADCP에서 수중에 발사한 음파 중 식생에 부딪친 강한 반사파의 노이즈로 side-lobe현상에 의한 오측 및 결측이 발생한다. 현재 오측 및 결측 자료는 ADCP 제조사별 자료 취득 소프트웨어의 기능에 의존 하거나, USGS의 OSW(Office of Surface Water) Hydroacoustics의 QRev를 이용하여 후처리 과정을 거쳐 측정 자료로 정리하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 노이즈로 인한 side-lobe 현상을 물리적인 방법으로 제거하기 위해 음향 녹음 과정에서 노이즈를 물리적인 방법으로 제거하는 윈드실드와 팝 필터를 고려한 ADCP필터를 개발하여 적용하였다. 이번 연구의 대상지점은 원주시(지정대교)수위관측소로 5월 이후 수중에 식생이 성장하는 지점이다. 먼저 ADCP필터를 제거한 상태에서 측정을 실시하고, 이후 ADCP필터를 장착하여 측정을 실시하였다. ADCP필터 적용의 측정성과에서는 노이즈에 의한 오측 및 결측이 다수 발생하는 것을 볼 수 있고, ADCP필터를 적용한 측정성과에서는 노이즈가 제거되어 오측 및 결측이 개선되는 결과를 볼 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 수중식생 영향으로 강한 반사파에 의한 노이즈로 side-lobe현상에 의한 ADCP측 정성과의 오측 및 결측을 ADCP필터를 적용하여 물리적인 방법으로 노이즈를 제거 할 수 있다는 결과를 얻었다.

In this study, we will develop the sea surface interpretation system that can aware the target in the bottom of the sea. we will setup the database whose records would be the signal patterns of formation about mud, sand, rock and sea shell achieved by using supersonic. then we will convert analog signal received in fish detector to digital one using A/D converter So we can process and analyze this signal pattern then compare it to the one in our Database at the real time to identify the target in the bottom of the sea. After enough times of experiments from the background of the results that have been achieved from many studies(including a water tank experiment and a field investigation), we can aware the exact information of the sediment and the sand in the sea. By analyzing the first, second and third signal of the supersonic characters reflected from the body of a fish categorized by its family and from the body of shellfish, muddy sand, sand and rocks, We will develop the sea surface decipherment system which abstracts the first signal that shows the target in the bottom of the sea and makes the second and third signals filtering.
