Abstract

수중 음향 채널의 주요 특징은 다중 경로와 빠른 주파수 페이딩을 가지고 있다. 이로 인해 다중 주파수 대역을 가지는 주파수 변이 변조(Frequency Shift Keying, FSK) 신호는 다중 경로로 인한 선택적 페이딩으로 인하여 특정한 주파수에 할당된 정보 비트의 손실을 가져온다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 프리엠블 오류율 기반으로 각 중심 주파수의 이득을 조절하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 수신되는 신호의 페이딩으로 인한 특정 주파수의 이득을 변화하면서 프리엠블 오류율이 10 % 미만인 영역의 값을 할당하여 최적의 이득 값을 추정하였다. 경북 문경의 호수에서 300 m ~ 500 m의 이동 거리를 가지는 호수 실험을 하였으며, 부호화율 1/3을 가지는 주파수 변이 변조 신호의 터보 등화 모델에서 터보 등화 반복 횟수가 증가함에 따라 제안한 알고리즘의 적용 시 모두 복호됨을 확인하였다.

The main characteristics of the underwater acoustic channel have varying multipath and fast fading. Especially, Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) signals with multiple frequency bands caused loss of information bits allocated on the specific frequencies due to selective fading phenomenon. Therefore, this paper proposes frequency gain control algorithm based on preamble error rates. The proposed algorithm estimates optimal gain value in the range of preamble error rate with less than 10 % for specific faded frequency. By employing turbo equalized FSK signals with rate of 1/3, the experiment was conducted on a lake in Munkyeong city with distance of 300 m to 500 m. The result confirms that packets are decoded successfully by applying proposed algorithm as increasing number of iterations.
