Introduction
Underwater communication is a technique of
sending and receiving message below water

Typical frequency: 1 Hz to 1 MHz Hydroacoustics

[4]4

APEX Institute of Technology &Management

Why using sound as communication medium in UW-ASN?

Radio waves Optical waves Acoustic transmission is better suited to water

than air
Speed of sound in water ~ 1500m/sec Speed of sound in air ~ 340m/sec

[5]5

Why is Underwater Communication Important?

Naval defence (submarines) Ocean exploration Understanding natural disasters (tsunami)

Traditional approach for ocean-bottom monitoring

Uses sensors to record data Disadvantages: Real time monitoring is not possible. No interaction b/w onshore control systems and the monitoring instruments. failures or misconfigurations may occur Limited storage capacity
[7]7

Underwater Networks
APEX Institute of Technology &Management

Difficult to Communicate because of:

Complex multi-path propagation Small bandwidth and strong attenuation Low data rates compared to terrestrial communication
[8]8

Technology In Use
APEX Institute of Technology &Management

Hydrophone

Hydrophone: Converts acoustic waves into electrical energy, Cannot measure multiple scalar quantities, and has Single Input Single Output. [9]9

What is Vector Sensor?

APEX Institute of Technology &Management

Measures Pressure + Y & Z Components of

Velocity Single Input Multiple Output More Efficient and Compact Size Therefore Vector Sensor is much more better than other receivers

Challenges
Battery Power is limited Limited available bandwidth Channel characteristics UW sensors are prone to failures because
of fouling, corrosion, etc

Mobility The ocean can be as deep as 10 km

SONAR
SOund Navigation And Ranging Two types of technology:
Active SONAR

Passive SONAR

13 [13]

APEX Institute of Technology &Management

Active SONAR
Active sonar uses a sound transmitter and a receiver Principle:
creates ping listens echo

14 [14]

APEX Institute of Technology &Management

Passive SONAR
Passive sonar listens without transmitting. Noise limitations

Dipping sonar deployed from a Ship
