| Popis: | Underwater or Acoustic propagation is characterized by three major factors: attenuation that increases with signal frequency, time-varying multipath propagation, and low speed of sound. The background noise, often characterized as Gaussian, is not white, but has a decaying power spectral density. Channel capacity depends on the distance, and may be extremely limited. As acoustic propagation is best supported at low frequencies, an acoustic communication system is inherently wideband and bandwidth is not negligible with respect to its center frequency. The channel has a sparse impulse response, where each physical path acts as a time-varying low-pass filter, and motion introduces Doppler spreading and shifting. Surface waves, internal turbulence and fluctuations in sound speed, contribute to random signal variations. Till date, there are no standardized models for acoustic channel fading. Experimental measurements are often made to assess the statistical properties of the underwater channel. |
