Popis: Cross-media communication underpins many vital applications, especially in underwater resource exploration and the biological population monitoring domains. Water surface micro-amplitude wave (WSAW) frequency detection is the key to cross-media communication, where the WSAW frequency can invert the underwater sound source frequency. However, extracting the WSAW frequency information encounters many challenges in a real environment, such as low precision and symbol synchronization, leading to inaccurately estimating the WSAW frequency. Thus, this paper proposed a WSAW frequency estimation method based on an improved RELAX algorithm, incorporating two improvements. First, adding a nonlinear filter to the RELAX kernel function compensates for the filtered gain and enhances the WSAW frequency precision. Second, the improved RELAX kernel function is combined with the generalized inner product method to obtain the time distribution of the non-stationary signals, which is convenient for decoding. Several simulations and experiments applying our method on a Ka-band frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar demonstrate that our algorithm attains a better performance than traditional methods, e.g., periodogram and the RELAX algorithm. Using the improved algorithm affords to extract the frequency information of the WSAW signal accurately with a short sampling duration, further improving the performance indicators of the communication system, such as communication rate.
