Özet:Combining underwater communication and detection can reduce system size and power consumption as well as improve secrecy. This paper presents a waveform that integrates continuous phase modulation (CPM) for data communication with linear frequency modulation (LFM) for detection. It is shown that the velocity ambiguity and range performance with this waveform are similar to those with only LFM. An integrated underwater acoustic system is also proposed to achieve simultaneous communication and detection. A symbol suffix (SS) is introduced into the signal frame at the transmitter and a two-step algorithm is employed at the receiver for frequency and phase offset estimation. Results are presented, showing that this decreases the sensitivity to CPM and reduces the range ambiguity side lobes. Further, the proposed system can effectively recover the data from the received signal. The bit error rate (BER) is shown to be better than that of traditional systems without a symbol suffix. With changes in the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the bit error rate (BER) in underwater acoustic environments is comparable to that in an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel, indicating a significant improvement in communication performance within the underwater acoustic channel.
