Magnetic Induction Communication for Unmanned Underwater Vehicles
Abstract
Communication with Underwater Unmanned Vehicles (UUV) is very important for their successful mission. The mission may range from surveying some desired site and collecting relevant data; and returning back to home station and wirelessly downloading the collected data, or coordinating activities between various UUVs during their mission. The required communication range may vary from short range (near field) to medium range in nature. The data rate for collection and downloading of data is very important for the success of these missions. This proposed project activity will concentrate on investigating magnetic conduction modes of communication, its usefulness and limitations in underwater environment. Improvement in the data rate in near field communication will be studied. Multi-input Multi-output communication mode will be studied to increase data rate. Theoretical results will be verified in experimental section of this project. A number of WSU-Bremerton students during their senior design projects will be involved in this project. The design of small, compact, low power systems will be emphasized in this project
