MIMO (Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output) in underwater acoustic communication has distortion of received signal because of ISI (Inter-Symbol Interference) and crosstalk among transmitters. Time-reversal mirror was used for compensating of signal distortion, but it has a limit in eliminating crosstalk effectively. This paper proposes a time-reversal mirror based on GSC (Generalized Sidelobe Canceller) for removing crosstalk. The FAF05 (The Focused Acoustic Forecasting 05) experimental data has been used to verify the suggested method by comparison with the conventional time-reversal for communication performance, and it is demonstrated that the suggested method produces better communication performance results than conventional time-reversal.

In order to detect underwater acoustic signals, various SONAR array types have been developed, including towed line array SONAR system (TASS). However, the TASS suffers from performance degradation which is caused by aperture deformation during a turn, because the TASS have a long-aperture array. A parabolic array model for turning TASS have been developed to solve the degradation problem occurred during a turn. In this paper, adaptive beamforming system is developed using the parabolic TASS model to cancel interference signals. The developed beamforming system is based on generalized sidelobe canceller (GSC) structure and self-tuning adaptive algorithm.
