Analysis of Doppler Effects in Underwater Acoustic Channels using Parabolic Expansion Modeling

Abstract

Underwater communication systems play an important role in understanding various phenomena that take place within our vast oceans. They can be used as an integral tool in countless applications ranging from environmental monitoring to gathering of oceanographic data, marine archaeology, and search and rescue missions. Acoustic Communication is the viable solution for communication in highly attenuating underwater environment. However, these systems pose a number of challenges for reliable data transmission. Nonnegligible Doppler Effect emerges as a major factor. In order to support reliable high data rate communication, understanding the channel behavior is required. As sea trials are expensive, simulators are required to study the channel behavior. Modeling this channel involves solution to wave equations and validation with experimental data for that portion of the sea. Parabolic expansion model is a wave theory based acoustic channel model. This model applies Pade coefficients and Fourier coefficients as expansion functions to solve the wave equations. This work attempts to characterize the impact of Doppler Effect in the underwater acoustic channel using parabolic expansion models.
