This paper presents an implementation of the Network Capable Application Processor (NCAP) and the Wireless Transducer Interface Module (WTIM) architectures based on the new IEEE P1451.5 standard. Proposed architecture is implemented using a computer for NCAP, an FPGA board, a sensor board and two radio modules, which communicate through the ZigBee wireless communication technology between the NCAP and the WTIM based on the IEEE 1451.0 and the IEEE 1451.5 interfaces. In this paper, two experiments has been done to verify operations of proposed architecture. From the experimental results, we verify that the proposed architecture performs the wireless sensor communication functions efficiently.

Nowadays, echosouder has been widely used in sea survey and ship navigation. By utilizing echosounder, we can measure the depth of water reliability. However, the problem is that depth update rate drops remarkably when sea bottom is shallow or steep/rugged. Therefore, we have developed an optimized algorithm to process tranducer's soundwave signals at high-speed and minimize error. Processing algorithm is implemented by the latest DSP processor (TMS320F2812), consequently, high-speed data processing can be achieved. Performance of the proposed algorithm is verified by experiments and compared with existing algorithms. It has shown that our method results in higher precision in water depth measurement than other methods.
