Abstract
Wireless cross-medium communication between underwater sensors and the outside world is a critical problem for marine exploitation. The sound-millimeter wave (mmWave)-based cross-medium communication system is a potential technology to solve the problem. However, the system is dramatically affected by random waves on the water surface. Here, the effects of waves on cross-medium wireless communication are analyzed. A system that combines a multichannel mmWave radar sensor and an underwater acoustic transmitter was applied to conduct a field experiment. Detailed signal processing methods and results are presented based on the system, which confirms the above analysis and shows the possible utilization of the multichannel mmWave radar sensor to solve the cross-medium wireless communication problem. A phase-difference-based space diversity technique is proposed to improve the communication performance on wavy water surfaces. The comparison results demonstrate the effectiveness of this technology.
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.
