Abstract
In this article a portable radio communication system operating in the 30-MHz band and capable of transmitting high-definition live underwater video images is presented. The system operation is based on launching electromagnetic surface waves propagating along the water–air interface using specially designed surface wave antennas. Since the propagation length of the surface electromagnetic waves far exceeds the skin depth of bulk radio waves at the same frequency, this technique is useful for video communication underwater over distances of several meters. This system also appears to be efficient at communicating through the water–air interface, and it may be used for underwater object detection.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering (ISSN 0364-9059) is the online-only quarterly publication of the IEEE Oceanic Engineering Society (IEEE OES). The scope of the Journal is the field of interest of the IEEE OES, which encompasses all aspects of science, engineering, and technology that address research, development, and operations pertaining to all bodies of water. This includes the creation of new capabilities and technologies from concept design through prototypes, testing, and operational systems to sense, explore, understand, develop, use, and responsibly manage natural resources.
