Very High Bit Rate Broadband Acoustic Modem for Short-to-Medium Range Data Transmission in Ports And Shallow Water Using Spread Spectrum Modulation and Decision Feedback Equalizing

摘要

The long term goal of this program is to develop underwater acoustic modem technology for real-time wireless transfer of high-definition images and sonar data over short-to-medium range operations in shallow water. A specific deployment goal is an acoustic tether that provides human-in-the-loop capability for an AUV performing a ship hull inspection.
