Funded Activity Summary

New channel estimation, tracking and equalization algorithms for real-time high-speed underwater acoustic communication systems. High-speed underwater communication is vitally important for Australian offshore oil and gas industries, marine commercial operations, and defence applications. However, due to the challenges posed by the harsh underwater channel, current underwater communication systems have significant limitations on data rate and bit-error-rate for many applications and environments. This project aims to develop a real-time signal processing platform for reliable high-speed communication through the extremely bandlimited and reverberant underwater acoustic channel. New channel estimation, tracking and equalisation algorithms developed in this project will significantly enhance the capacity of underwater communication systems.
