In this paper, a frequency-hopping frequency-shift keying (FH-FSK) underwater acoustic control and communication system based on Low Density Parity Check Codes (LDPC) is proposed by combining with FH-FSK system and LDPC. The anti-jamming performance of the system in the condition of Gaussian white noise and coherent multi-path channel is simulated respectively. The simulation result shows that FH-FSK system based on LDPC has a better performance than that of convolutional code. Therefore, it is more applicable for the system to have a stable anti-jamming performance and better robustness.

Abstract Large area 1–3 composite piezoelectric transducer panels have been produced by Materials Systems Inc. (MSI). These SonoPanels™ measure 250 × 250 mm and have excellent response as underwater actuators as well as sensors. Piezocomposite panel manufacturing has been facilitated by an injection molding technology for fabricating net-shape lead zirconate titanate (PZT) ceramic preforms. An array of fifteen 250 × 250 mm 1–3 composite actuator panels, integrated with surface mounted pressure and velocity sensors, has been attached to a steel backing structure. The array has been evaluated for underwater active surface control applications at the Naval Research Laboratory. Sensor-actuator coupling was investigated, with good agreement between calculated and measured performance.

Due to the complexity of the underwater acoustic channel, a reliable mobile underwater acoustic communication system must have high resistance to Doppler and multi-path extension. In this paper, an AUV underwater acoustic control and communication system based on frequency-hopping frequency-shift keying (FH-FSK) is proposed. The system uses pulse pair method to estimate Doppler frequency shift, and analyzes the performance of the algorithm via simulation. The system has been developed based on chip OMAP-L138, with lake test conducted. Result of the tests shows that the system can estimate and compensate the Doppler frequency shift generated by the platform's movement precisely, and has strong resistance to interference to transmit AUV control messages effectively.
