SIGNAL TRANSMISSION IN UNDERWATER USING PASSIVE

TIME REVERSAL FOR SINGLE AND MULTIUSER

Abstract: This paper describes passive time reversal communications which
enables multiple users to send information simultaneously to the time reversal
array. Experimental results at 3.5 kHz with a 1-kHz bandwidth demonstrate that as
many as six users can transmit information over a 4-km range in a 120-m-deep
water using quaternary phase-shift keying (QPSK) modulation, achieving an
aggregate data rate of 6 kb/s. Moreover, the same data rate has been achieved at
20-km range by three users using 16 quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM).
