Working Principle
The UAM-04080X-SE4T underwater acoustic communication device transmits digital data via acoustic waves within the 4–8 kHz frequency band. Data signals are modulated into acoustic waves by the device, propagate through seawater, and are then received and demodulated by a remote unit. The system employs adaptive signal processing to maintain stable communication in varying underwater conditions, including changes in temperature, salinity, and ambient noise. Its modular structure allows flexible installation on seabed bases, buoys, or autonomous platforms, while the externally powered, low-power duty design ensures efficient energy use for long-term deployments.
