Research Summary
Underwater acoustic communication refers to the transmission of information through sound waves in aquatic environments. Unlike traditional communication methods that rely on radio or electromagnetic waves, underwater acoustic communication utilizes sound signals to convey data over distances in water. This technology is crucial for various applications, including underwater exploration, oceanography, environmental monitoring, and offshore industries. Underwater acoustic communication systems typically involve the use of transducers to convert electrical signals into sound waves and vice versa. Challenges in underwater communication include signal attenuation, dispersion, and the impact of environmental conditions on the propagation of sound waves. Advances in this field aim to improve data transfer rates, enhance signal reliability, and broaden the range of applications, such as underwater robotics, ocean research, and offshore communication.
