The M7 Communication System
Abstract
The M7 underwater acoustic communication system developed by the Acoustic Communication Studies Project of the University of Miami as described. This system is designed to reduce the transmitted energy per received bit and to reduce the vulnerability of the transmitting platform to detection by hostile receivers. Three techniques are used to accomplish these objectives: a freely randomizable pseudo-noise transmission format, true matched filter reception, and coherent integration. Five independently written papers follow a brief introduction in this report. These papers provide an overview of system objectives and techniques, followed by more detailed explanation of actual receiver operation. Finally a discussion of the relevance of the Mobile Acoustic Communication Study (MACS) results available to date is included.
