Abstract

The performance of underwater wireless communication system is influenced on channel characteristic. Especially, a delay spread cause by reverberation and multi-path happen the ISI (Inter Symbol Interference) and reduces the communication performance. In this paper, we study the application of high speed data transmission in underwater to use the OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technique for robust the reverberation and multi-path. we confirm the performance of communication in underwater to use the model for actually underwater channel simulation model. As a result, we acquired the BER of modulation techniques. The BER of single carrier is $2{\times}10^{-1}$ and BER of multi carrier is $8{\times}10^{-2}$ in 1000m.

수중무선통신 시스템의 성능은 수중채널의 특성에 영향을 받으며, 특히 잔향 및 다중경로(Multi-path)로 인한 지연확산은 데이터 전송 시 인접심벌간의 간섭(Inter Symbol Interference : ISI)를 발생시켜 통신의 성능을 저하시킨다. 본 논문에서는 잔향 및 다중경로로 인한 인접 심벌간의 간섭에 강한 성능을 나타내는 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 기법을 이용하여 수중에서 고속 데이터 전송의 적용성을 검토하였다. 실제 수중 채널을 모의하는 모델을 사용하여 수중에서 통신 성능을 확인하였다. 그 결과 1000m의 거리에서 단일 반송파의 경우 BER이 $2{\times}10^{-1}$ 이였으며, 다중 반송파의 경우 BER이 $8{\times}10^{-2}$이었다.
