What is Acoustic communication? 
Underwater acoustic 
communication is a technique of 
sending and receiving message below 
water either wired or wireless .
Why Acoustic communication ? 
Oceans, which cover over 70% of the earth’s surface, are 
being looked at in a new light as they become a source of 
future resource potential as well as a source of 
information about the earth’s carbon ecosystem and it 
affect on climate change. To unlock the oceans secrets 
there are major projects and research being undertaken 
around the world to develop technologies required 
to operate within the oceans and development of Marian 
technology.
The difficulties of the underwater acoustic 
communications channel are well-known: 
1. overall bandwidth is limited due to acoustic 
absorption that increases with frequency 
2. Typical shallow water regions where 
communications are desired have high 
degrees of spatial and temporal variability and 
different losses like propagation loss, absorption loss, 
transmission loss, noise etc,
Parameters variations in different underwater layers
Underwater environment for data transmission using a single 
transmitter-receiver pair.
Uwa channel TECHNIQUES: 
There are many techniques to reach the better Under Water 
Communication. 
OFDM is an attractive technique beginning used in 
UWA communication with three obvious advantages: 
 Good performance against multipath interference 
 Ability to combat the frequency selective fading 
 The high frequency band efficiency.
OFDM 
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM ),one 
kind of multi-carrier modulation, as one charming technique 
in present wireless results has high bandwidth efficiency. The 
advantages of combating frequency select fading and 
multipath interference. 
Data is transmitted in parallel on multiple carriers that 
overlap in frequency
Advantages of OFDM over UWA 
channel : 
In OFDM system, intersymbol interference (ISI) introduced 
by multipath propagation, which is very popular in 
underwater acoustic (UWA) channel, can be removed by 
using guard time. For these reasons, OFDM has been used 
in high-speed UWA. 
Specifications 
1.medium range communication about 5km-10 km 
2.The data rate is 9.8kbps-2.8kbps. 
3.Bit error rate( BER) is below 0.0001.
CHARACTERSTICS OF UWAC 
1.BANDWIDTH : the bandwidth of this system ranging about 10 km is 
only few kHz,it depends on transmission loss, 
ambient noise. 
2.MULTI PATH: With in the limited bandwidth ,the signal is subjected 
to multi path propagation through under water 
channel.Due to this multi path causes inter symbol 
interference ISI which restricts the data throughputs 
and degrades the system performance.
Multipath interference Under water communication
ofdm transmitter in uwa channel:
In the transmitter, 
 The input data is a serial bit-stream that is to be mapped. 
After that, the data streams are converted from serial to 
N- paralled data streams 
 Then a pilot signal is inserted. 
 The modulation of OFDM is conducted by using IFFT. 
The cyclic prefix signal is used to reduce the effect of ISI 
and ensure the orthogonality of sub carriers. 
 Then followed by P/S and D/A conversion

3.Doppler: 
There are two aspects to cause the Doppler. 
1. The motion of sea surfaces and currents 
2. The relative motion between transmitter and receiver 
Doppler frequency shift is estimated by using cyclic 
prefix and compensated by resampling the 
received signal.
In Receiver, 
 Doppler shift is estimated and compensated 
effectively by resampling the receiver signal 
Resampling signal is followed by S/P and FFT. 
The channel is estimated by using the pilot signal, 
and the phase variety must be tracked in OFDM system. 
Equalization is then implemented in time domain.
Effect of Doppler shift Relation between range and frequency
Conclusion: 
OFDM has been succeeded in the RF 
applications in wireless communication . 
Recently OFDM has been used in UWA 
communication channel . OFDM system is 
more efficient for high rate UWA 
communication not only at short range, but also 
at medium range.
