ABSTRACT
While wireless communication technology today has become part of our daily life, the idea of wireless under sea communications may still seem far-fetched. However, research has been active for over a decade on designing the methods for wireless information transmission underwater. Significant progress has been made in terrestrial sensor net-works to revolutionize sensing and data collection. To bring the concept of long-lived, dense sensor networks to the underwater environment, there is a compelling need to develop low-cost and low-power acoustic modems for short-range communications. This paper presents our work in designing and developing such a modem.
