본고에서는 최근 활발하게 연구되고 있는 수중 음향통신을 위한 물리계층 기술에 대하여 알아 본다. 수중음향통신은 지상의 전파를 이용한 무선 통신 기술과 달리 음파를 이용한다. 음파는 수중에서 약1500m/s로 매우 저속이고 시간에 따른 다중 경로와 해수면과 해저면에서의 반사가 발생한다. 또한 수온, 염분, 수압, 해류와 해저지형 등에 의해 신호의 왜곡 및 손실이 일어나기 때문에 수중음향통신은 지상에서 전파를 이용한 통신에 비하여 매우 어려운 일이다. 본고에서는 이러한 수중음향채널의 특성을 살펴보고 링크버짓 계산을 한다. 그리고 수중음향통신을 위한 물리계층 변조기법을 살펴본다. 특히 OFDM 변조기법에 대하여 자세히 설명하고 실해역 측정을 통한 수중채널 특성을 기반으로 채널을 모델링하고 OFDM 변조기법을 위한 파라미터 선정 및 성능비교를 하였다.

This paper proposes an adequate UWA (Underwater Acoustic) communication system of underwater communication network in the Yellow Sea. UWA channel is obtained from Bellhop ray tracing method with Yellow Sea environments. Based on this channel, communication parameters for CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) and SC-FDM (Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiplexing) using diversity techniques are calculated. In order to prove the proposed methods, BER (Bit Error Rate) and data rate are obtained using computer simulations and the adequate communication system for long rms delay spread and low Eb/No environments is proposed from the simulation.

The electro-magnetic wave propagates through the air in the terrestrial communications, but the acoustic wave propagates through the seawater in the underwater acoustic communication(UAC). It makes the differences between the UAC link and the well hon air communication links. In this paper, we have studied path loss, absorption and ambient noise of the ocean as a medium for UAC. We have analyzed the absorption coefficient and ambient noise level of the coastal area of South Korea and suggested a strategy for the selection of the frequency band by considering the absorption coefficient and ambient noise level. Also, we present an illustrative example of a link budget for the QPSK UAC system which has carrier frequency 25kHz, bit rate 10kbps, range 1km and BER $10^{-3}$ in the shallow water environment with an ideal AWGN assumption.

UAComm (Underwater Acoustic Communication) is an active research area, and many experiment has been performed to develop UAComm system. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of modifying and applying VirTEX (Virtual Time series EXperiment) to medium long range MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) UAComm of about 20 km range for the analysis and performance prediction of UAComm system. Since VirTEX is a time-domain simulator, the generated time series can be used in HILS (Hardware In the Loop Simulation) to develop UAComm system. The developed package is verified through comparing with the sea-going FAF05 (Focused Acoustic Field 2005) experimental data. The developed simulator can be used to predict the performance of UAComm system, and even replace the expensive sea-going experiment.

ISI (Inter Symbol Interference) reduces the performance of UAComm (Underwater Acoustic Communication). This paper shows that the performance of UAComm can be improved through the spatiotemporal diversity method that is the combination of spatial diversity and temporal diversity methods. By using spatiotemporal diversity, the array aperture was reduced to increase the efficiency of the UAComm system. It is also verified using the experimental data of BLAC18 (Biomimetic Long range Acoustic Communication 18) conducted in October 2018.

As a part of development process of the COMS, an acoustic vibration test was performed in order to verify that the COMS is safe from the acoustic loads coming from the Ariane-5ECA launch vehicle when it is launched. In this paper, the acoustic vibration test preparation which was performed during the development of the COMS is explained, and through the evaluation of the test results, it was verified whether the COMS is safe from the acoustic load that the COMS will experience during the launch. Through detail evaluation of the acoustic loads on the solar array, Ka band communication payload antenna and feed, GOCI(Geo-Stationary Ocean Color Imager), MI(Meteorological Imager), it was confirmed that the COMS is safe from the acoustic loads from launch vehicle.

The existing underwater acoustic communications modem is developing based on commercial products, so it is possible on functionality and performance of underwater acoustic communications modem implementation. But the production of development system is required to single platform system implementation at the system's size and cost. So this paper designs and implements the signal processing module as an important role to single hardware platform production of underwater acoustic communication modem by using TigerSHARC DSP processor.
