음성 통신계를 통해서 전달되는 음성신호 품질의 좋고 나쁨을 수화자의 청각을 거친 반응(주관평가)에 의해 객관적으로 표현한 것을 통화품질이라 한다. 잠수기 어업 등과 같은 수중 활동에 사용할 무선수중전화기 시작품 설계와 최적의 통화품질 평가 방법 선점의 기초 자료로써 레저스포츠등에 인부 사용되고 있는 기존의 무전수중전화기로 수중 음성통신에서의 명료도와 단어 요해도를 측정하였다. (중략)

The study aims to develop the underwater wireless telephone system. The system is designed based on the underwater acoustic communication channel parameters such as ambient noise, multipath effect and diver breathing noise. The system adopts SSB modem and its carrier frequency is about 33 kHz in which ambient noise level is low and therefore a high S/N ratio is easily obtained. The source level of the transmitter is designed as 131 dB re 1μPa. Its intelligibility index of sentence shows as 80% or mure in the range of less than 300m in the sea trial.

The mini-weather buoy using newly developed Weather Observation Through Ambient Noise (WOTAN) technology is developed. The buoy uses the cellular phone system for communication between the mini-weather buoy and the receiving station. The developed mini-weather buoy was deployed near Kijang and the comparison with land observation station was good: the rms error for wind speed estimation from underwater ambient noise was about 1 m/s. The only shortcoming of developed mini-weather buoy is that the buoy must be within the range of the cellular phone system, but it can be easily solved when satellite phone system is available.

The underwater background noise measured in Geoje and Tongyoung diving fishing ground from May to December, 2000 and analyzed to get optimum carrier frequency and transmitter power level for underwater wireless telephone design. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. At the Geoje and Tongyoung diving fishing ground, the lowest ambient noise band was 25~30kHz with 57dB and 52dB re 1$\mu$Pa, respectively. 2. At the Geoje and Tongyoung diving fishing ground, the lowest noise band during fishing activity was 67dB and 62dB re 1$\mu$Pa, respectively. 3. At the Geoje diving fishing ground, the noise of water jetter which is a digging machine for subbottom shells was 102dB re 1$\mu$Pa. 4. Considering the design parameters of underwater wireless telephone, it is found that the optimum carrier frequency band is around 30kHz and the transmitter source level should be at least 131dB re 1$\mu$Pa for 500m range telephone.

This study aims to provide divers with improved sqfe diving practices by analyzing reports on scuba diving casualties that recently (from 1997-2003) occurred in Korea, Japan and USA The result of this study may contribute to reduce the diving accident. The data were collected through the diving accident reports of various sources, which include reports of the KUA (Korea Underwater Association) technical committee, the accident statistical data of Korea Coast Guard, articles of domestic and foreign scuba diving magazines, accident reports of various newspapers, annual reports on decompression illness and diving fatalities by DAN (Diver Alert Network), diving accident data reported to local and national seminars, and medical treatment data of diving accident. The analysis focused on the diving casualties and the result showed that the casualty rate in Korea was 2.8 and 2.2 times higher than those in Japan and USA, respectively.
