Power System, Spatial Diversity and Error Correction Enhancement for Underwater Acoustic Data Transmission

FY 2022-23 · 2022-08-24

Summary
The project goal is to increase the power efficiency, connection speed and communication range of our current near-production prototype. One aspect of the project is exploring a new power distribution and control method using subsea battery packs. Another aspect is to use multiple transducer elements at the transmit side and leverage transmit spatial diversity. This will lead to a more favourable trade-off between connection speed and reliability, which in turn, will enable the user of our system to accomplish higher transmission distances at larger throughputs.

Description (French)
L'objectif du projet est d'augmenter l'efficacité énergétique, la vitesse de connexion et la portée de communication de notre prototype actuel de quasi-production. L'un des aspects du projet consiste à explorer une nouvelle méthode de distribution et de contrôle de l'énergie à l'aide de batteries sous-marines. Un autre aspect consiste à utiliser plusieurs éléments transducteurs du côté de l'émission et à tirer parti de la diversité spatiale de l'émission. Cela conduira à un compromis plus favorable entre la vitesse de connexion et la fiabilité, ce qui permettra à l'utilisateur de notre système d'accomplir des distances de transmission plus importantes à des débits plus élevés.
