The requirement of acoustic performance about underwater acoustic material which is used in underwater environment more increases. Underwater acoustic material was made by viscoelastic material such as a rubber and a polyurethane etc. In order to increase an acoustic performance, several kinds of inclusions were added to viscoelastic material. In this paper, acoustic modelling and analysis techniques were introduced and the acoustic characteristics of underwater acoustic material were studied. Echo reduction and transmission loss were calculated with volume fraction of inclusion in the material. Also the characteristic impedance and the input impedance of underwater acoustic material were obtained and effects on the echo reduction and transmission loss of material were discussed.

최근 환경오염에 의한 수질관리, 재난방지, 해양자원탐사 및 군사목적 등으로 수중환경에서의 음파통신에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 그러나 수중네트워크는 물이라는 특수한 환경으로 인해 많은 제약사항이 존재한다. 이를 극복하기 위한 노력은 계속되고 있으며 더불어 보안의 필요성도 함께 중요시 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 수중 음파통신에서 활용가능한 다양한 플랫폼에서 AES, ARIA, LEA 암호 알고리즘의 성능을 측정하고 그 결과를 비교 분석하여, 향후 수중 네트워크에서의 통신에 효율적으로 기밀성을 제공할 수 있도록 한다.

Underwater acoustic communication channel is influenced by environmental parameters such as multipath, background noise and scattering. Therefore, a transmitted signal is influenced by the sea surface and the sea bottom boundaries, and a received signal shows a delay spread. These factors create a noise in the image and degrade the quality of underwater acoustic communication. To solve these problems, in this paper, we evaluate the performance of an underwater acoustic communication model using a denoising auto-encoder used for unsupervised learning. Noise images generated by the underwater multipath channel were collected and used as training data. Experimental results were analyzed as a PSNR parameter that expressed the noise ratio of the two images.

The requirement of acoustic material which is used in underwater environment more increases. The material is used to reduce acoustic signature and radiate noise for underwater vehicle. Underwater acoustic material was made by viscoelastic material such as rubber and polyurethane etc. The mechanical and acoustic characteristics of these material change with hydrostatic pressure. In order to improve an acoustic performance according to hydrostatic pressure, several kinds of scatterers were added to viscoelastic material. In this paper, acoustic modelling and analysis techniques of underwater acoustic material with hydrostatic pressure were introduced and proposed. The specimens for pulse tube test were made and echo reductions were calculated and measured with hydrostatic pressure. Also the characteristics of echo reduction of the specimens with hydrostatic pressure were obtained and discussed.

In this paper, an integrated analysis model for evaluating the underwater acoustic performance of the multilayered acoustic coatings containing visco-elastic composite layers with hollow glass microspheres is described. The model uses the effective medium theory considering the acoustic scattering and resonance effects of the inclusions. Also, the model incorporates the compressive deformation mechanism associated with hydrostatic pressure. The technique developed in this work was used as the acoustic layer design and performance analysis tools for the practical hull coatings and acoustic baffles in Korean next generation submarines.

Underwater acoustic(UWA) communication is one of the most difficult field in terms of severe channel environments such as multipath propagation, high temporal and spatial variability of channel conditions. Therefore, it is important to model and analyze the characteristics of underwater acoustic channel such as multipath propagation, transmission loss, reverberation, and ambient noise. In this paper, UWA communication channel is modeled with a ray tracing method and applied to image transmission. Quadrature phase shift keying(QPSK) and multichannel decision feedback equalizer(DFE) are utilized as phase-coherent modulation method and equalization technique, respectively. The objective is to improve the performance of the image transmission using vertical sensor array instead of single sensor in the viewpoint of bit error rate(BER), constellation diagram, and received image quality.

Localization of underwater vehicle is essential to use underwater robotic systems for various applications effectively. For this purpose, this paper presents a method of two-dimensional SLAM for underwater vehicles equipped with two hydrophones. The proposed method uses directional angles for underwater acoustic sources. A target signal transmitted from acoustic source is extracted using band-pass filters. Then, directional angles are estimated based on Bayesian process with generalized cross-correlation. The acquired angles are used as measurements for EKF-SLAM to estimate both vehicle location and locations of acoustic sources. Through these processes, the proposed method provides reliable estimation for two dimensional locations of underwater vehicles. Experimental results demonstrate the performance of the proposed method in a real sea environment.

In this paper, an ascheme is proposed for multiuser underwater acoustic communication by using the multi-chirp rate signals. It differs from the well known TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access), FDMA (Frequency Division Multiple Access) or CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access), by assigning each users with different chirp-rate carriers instead of the time, frequency or PN code. Multi-chirp rate signals can be separated from each other by FrFT (Fractional Fourier Transform), which can be regarded as the chirp-based decomposing, and superior to the match filter in the underwater acoustic channel. VTRM (Virtual Time Reverse Mirror) is applied into the system to alleviate the ISI caused by the multipatch and make the equalization more simple. Results of computer simulations and pool experiments prove that the proposed multiuser underwater acoustic communication based on the multi-chirp rate exhibit well performance. Outfield experments carrie out in Xiamen Port show that using about 10 kHz bandwidth, four users could communicate at the same time with 425 bps with low BER and can match the UAC application.

최근 수중 환경 모니터링 시스템에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 수중음파센서네트워크에 관련된 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 수중음파센서네트워크는 수중환경 모니터링, 수중자원탐사, 해양 데이터 수집, 군사 목적 등 다양한 분야에 활용되고 있다. 이러한 다양한 분야에서 활용 가능한 수중음파센서네트워크의 활성화를 위해서는 PHY-MAC 프로토콜의 정의가 필수적이다. 하지만, 수중음파센서네트워크는 제한된 대역폭, 다중경로 및 페이딩현상, 지상 무선통신에 비해서 낮은 음파 속도로 인한 전송 지연시간 등 수중환경의 특수성에 고려해서 구현을 해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 수중환경과 관련된 제약사항을 고려하여 적응적인 PHY 프로토콜의 주파수, 네트워크 토폴로지, MAC 프로토콜, PHY-MAC 인터페이스, 데이터 프레임 포맷을 정의하고, 구현한 시스템의 구성에 대해서 설명하며, 수중환경에서의 실제 실험을 통한 데이터를 기반으로 성능 평가를 하였다.
