Detection of Binary Phase-Shift Keying Signal in Multipath Propagation

Abstract

Time-varying dispersion and multipath propagation in a shallow underwater environment causes intersymbol interference in underwater communication. This thesis investigates a mitigation procedure for communication using a Binary Phase-Shift Keying (BPSK) signal. The method employed uses the time-reversed ocean impulse response to mitigate the degradation of the bit error rate performance. All results were achieved by the use of computer simulation of typical shallow water environments.
