Total Least Squares: Comparing Least Squares Methods for Signal Reconstruction

A common problem in wireless communication is the existence of multipath propagation. This means that a transmitted signal is received multiple times because of reflections caused by the environment. We present two ways of modeling multipath propagation of an acoustic underwater signal. We discretise these models to solve them numerically....

Subsea Communication System Using Quasi-Static Electric Fields: Software and Modulation

Unmanned underwater vehicles benefit from communication with a high data rate on relatively small distances (under 100 m). Existing communication methods are not able to provide this or present other shortcomings. Therefore, this bachelor end project focuses on a new type of underwater communication, quasi-static electric field communication....

Communication system for a deepsea robot: Analysis of underwater communication using electric quasi-static fields

In this report the analysis of underwater communication using electric quasi-static fields is undertaken, in which key aspects that influence the performance the communication between a transmitting and receiving electrode is examined. A mathematical model was proposed for the transmission and reception of the quasistatic field and the expected...

Single-carrier block transmission for underwater communications

The present report assesses the performance of several receiver schemes that attempt to recover as best as possible data transmitted through an acoustic underwater channel modulating a low-frequency single-carrier wave at a high data-rate for this kind of medium. The shifted Known Symbol Padding block structure is considered robust against...
