dc.description.abstract | Underwater acoustic communication operates in one of the most complex wireless communica-
tion environments. Therefore, sophisticated signal processing techniques are required to make
high-throughput communications possible. A typical acoustic channel has long impulse response
and suffers from time variation caused by Doppler effects. In this thesis, we apply the delay-and-
sum beamformer accompanied by multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm to alleviate
the harsh conditions of the underwater acoustic channel. Those proposed algorithms improve
the channel power-delay profile and reduce Doppler spread causing channel taps variations. | en_US |
