Underwater Acoustic Modem Performance Test in Ocean Noise Background

Experiment Location

Sea area of Weihai City, Shandong Province, China

Main Purpose & Application Scope

 Configure the C01-6 and C01-5 Underwater Acoustic Modem(UAM-0816H) devices into a point-to-point working mode, and test the communication distance under the influence of general ocean background noise. The test water depth shall be no less than 20 meters. During the test, the acoustic communication devices on the two vessels shall send messages using the device IDs to each other. Successful reception of a message shall be considered a successful communication. The validity of the communication distance shall be determined based on the success rate of multiple transmission attempts. Record the GPS coordinates of each test point and the effective packet success rate at that distance
