Working Principle
The UAM-04080X-SI4T utilizes acoustic wave transmission within the 4–8 kHz frequency band to achieve underwater communication. Digital data is converted into acoustic signals through a modulation process, transmitted through seawater, and then received and demodulated by a remote unit. The system employs adaptive signal processing to maintain stable communication performance under varying underwater conditions such as noise, temperature, and salinity. With a built-in low-power duty control module, the device efficiently manages energy consumption, making it suitable for long-term deployment on seabed bases and buoy-based observation platforms.
