Abstract
In this paper, we propose a Complex-to-Real Transformation (C2RT) for Discrete Hartley Transform Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DHT-OFDM) in underwater acoustic communication system. C2RT is an efficient system modulation scheme based on the principle of index modulation. Traditional DHT-OFDM systems only support modulation and demodulation in the real domain, which limits the use of high-order phase modulation. This restriction makes it difficult to improve communication rates and bandwidth utilization. C2RT is an effective solution to this problem. By incorporating this algorithm into DHT-OFDM system, high-order phase modulation can be achieved while maintaining the system's real-valued characteristics. Additionally, due to the sparsity of its output sequence, C2RT provides higher transmission accuracy compared to direct transmission schemes.
The experimental verifies that the DHT-OFDM system proposed in this paper can be applied to 300 m and 5 km underwater acoustic transmission with less error bits. This makes the proposed C2RT DHT-OFDM method a promising approach for enhancing underwater communication technologies.
期刊介绍:
Since its launch in 1968, Applied Acoustics has been publishing high quality research papers providing state-of-the-art coverage of research findings for engineers and scientists involved in applications of acoustics in the widest sense.
Applied Acoustics looks not only at recent developments in the understanding of acoustics but also at ways of exploiting that understanding. The Journal aims to encourage the exchange of practical experience through publication and in so doing creates a fund of technological information that can be used for solving related problems. The presentation of information in graphical or tabular form is especially encouraged. If a report of a mathematical development is a necessary part of a paper it is important to ensure that it is there only as an integral part of a practical solution to a problem and is supported by data. Applied Acoustics encourages the exchange of practical experience in the following ways: • Complete Papers • Short Technical Notes • Review Articles; and thereby provides a wealth of technological information that can be used to solve related problems.
Manuscripts that address all fields of applications of acoustics ranging from medicine and NDT to the environment and buildings are welcome.
