해양에서 음파를 사용하여 수중통신을 시도할 경우 해양매질은 음향 도파관(acoustic waveguide)의 역할을 하게 되고, 이 경우 해양환경의 변동성과 그에 따른 음파와 매질의 간섭에 의해 수중통신 채널의 변동성이 발생한다. 수중음향 채널은 대역 제한 채널이면서 잔향음 제한 채널이고 강한 도플러 변이 채널이므로 수신된 통신 신호는 육상통신에 비해 심한 인접 심볼간 간섭(intersymbol interference)과 위상변이를 가지게 된다. 따라서 수중통신을 시도함에 있어 이러한 해양환경 변동성과 그에 따른 수중음향 채널 변동에 대한 충분한 고려가 필요하다. 본 논문은 수중통신 시스템 구성에 도움을 줄 수 있도록 수중통신 채널에 영향을 미치는 해양 매질의 기본적 특성에 대해 소개하고 수중통신 채널과의 상관성 및 환경 변동성에 따른 통신채널의 변동성에 대해 소개하고자 한다.

In this paper we have studied the underwater vector channel modeling for MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output) to increase the performance and efficiency for ultrasound communication in underwater channel environments. Also we have analyzed the MIMO techniques using the proposed channel modeling. For underwater MIMO channel modeling. experiments were done in real channel environments and the data were analyzed to estimate parameters such as fading, Doppler, time delay, angle of arrival, and receiving power. These were used for modeling of underwater vector channel modeling for MIMO. Additionally, we have analyzed the performance of MIMO systems using our proposed channel models. As a result we could see that the BER has decreased severely with the same SNR when using the MIMO system.

수중음향통신 관점에서 바다와 같은 수중채널은 수십심벌에 이르는 다중경로와 빠르게 변화하는 도플러 효과가 존재한다. 따라서 신뢰성 있는 수중음향통신을 위해서는 채널 등화가 반드시 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이차 통계량 기반의 Blind Identification 알고리듬을 이용한 수중음향 채널추정 기법을 이용하여 무향수조의 채널응답을 분석하였다. 실험을 통하여 알고리듬의 추정 정확도 및 트랜스듀서 특성을 포함한 무향수조의 채널 응답 특성에 대하여 논한다.

It is necessary to analyze underwater acoustics channel(UAC) modeling and simulation for underwater weapon system development and acquisition. In order to analyze UAC, there are underwater acoustics propagation numerical analysis models(Ray theory, Parabolic equation, Normal-mode, Wavenumber integration). However, If these models are used for multiple frequency signal analysis, they are inaccurate to calculate result of analysis effectiveness and restricted for signal processing and analysis. In this paper, to overcome this problem, we propose simple/multiple frequency signal analysis model of the Pseudospectral Time-Domain Method synthetic environment UAC applied to underwater environment noise model as like as realistic underwater environment. In order to confirm the validation of the model, we performed the 9 scenarios simulation(4 scenarios of single frequency signal, 4 scenarios of multiple frequency signal, 1 scenario of single/multiple frequency signal like submarine radiated noise) for validation and confirmed the validation of this model through the simulation model.

In this paper, we compare the transmission performance of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) under long duration multipath channel environments. This paper generates underwater channels through Bellhop based on the underwater environmental data of the west sea. BER performance of CDMA and OFDM are analyzed through various underwater channels based on the channels. Computer simulations result show that CDMA has better performance than OFDM when multipath delay time of underwater channel is shorter than spreading factor (SF). However, OFDM has better BER performance than CDMA as multi-path delay time increases.

It is difficult to test a detection system in underwater acoustics channel environments. The system can be evaluated by using simulation analysis tool. In this paper, a simulation tool is proposed to analyze the effectiveness of underwater acoustics detection based on database for real environments. First, the underwater environment is built based on HYCOM underwater environment database. Then, a multipath characteristic is considered through calculating underwater acoustics propagation path/pressure based on the ray theory. Also, hydrophone thermal noise and underwater ambient noise are considered to reflect underwater noise characteristics.

In this paper, we analyze a QPSK MODEM over underwater acoustic channel model. Ambient noises and parameters of underwater environments debase the BER performance of an underwater modem. In the paper, the BER performance of uncoded QPSK and rate-2/3 convolutional coded QPSK is analyzed. And To improve BER Performance, we apply a channel equalization technique to the underwater modem.

Underwater acoustic channel has time-variability. Time varying channel which disturbs the continuous transmission of information data reduces the underwater acoustic communication performance. In this paper, we show the temporal coherence as time-variability of channel and indicate throughput efficiency in accordance with transmission time of information data. Then we analyzed influence of underwater channel time-variability on communication throughput efficiency. We confirmed that the throughput efficiency reduced when the time-variability of the channel increased via lake trial.

In this paper, the multipath effect on underwater acoustic channel bandwidth and BFSK and BPSK bit error dependancy on channel bandwidth are analyzed. The multipath is modeled as a discrete multipath and a continuous multipath and the channel bandwidth is expressed as a function of multipath delay spread constant. Bit error characteristics on the channel bandwidth and the criteria of the multipath delay spread constant are found through the numerical simulation. The transmission bit rate of less than 100bps in the water tank which has a channel bandwidth of 100Hz, is a consistent result with the numerical simulation.
