A variety of signal processing functions are performed by Underwater Acoustic Systems. These include: 1) detection to determine presence or absence of information signals in the presence of noise, or an attempt to describe which of a predetermined finite set of possible messages{mi,i,...,M}the signal represents; 2) estimation of some parameterθˆassociated with the received signal (i.e. range, depth, bearing angle, etc.); 3) classification and source identification; 4) dynamics tracking; 5) navigation (collision avoidance and terminal guidance); 6) countermeasures; and 7) communications. The focus of this paper is acoustic communications.There is a global current need to develop reliable wireless digital communications for the underwater environment, with sufficient performance and efficiency to substitute for costly wired systems. One possible goal is a wireless system implementation that insures underwater terminal mobility. There is also a vital need to improve the performance of the existing systems in terms of data-rate, noise immunity, operational range, and power consumption, since, in practice, portable high-speed, long range, compact, low-power systems are desired.We concede the difficulties associated with acoustic systems and concentrate on the development of robust data transmission methods anticipating the eventual need for real time or near real time video transmission. An overview of the various detection techniques and the general statistical digital communication problem is given based on a statistical decision theory framework. The theoretical formulation of the underwater acoustic data communications problem includes modeling of the stochastic channel to incorporate a variety of impairments and environmental uncertainties, and proposal of new compensation strategies for an efficient and robust receiver design.

In recent years, the strategic significance of the oceans is growing as well as its research and development needs. The underwater wireless communication is becoming more and more important. The underwater acoustic communication is one of the few mediums which can conduct the underwater transmission over a long distance, and the multipath effect is the major obstacle of affecting the systems high speed and high reliability. The characteristics of underwater acoustic fading and coherent multi-path channel are studied, and the model of underwater acoustic spreading spectrum (SS) communication system is established. The affect of coding technique on the systems performance are analyzed in detail. The improved RAKE receiving technical solution is put forward, whose simulation analysis and data in different combining ways are given. It is proved that the scheme can better solve the problem of multipath interference in underwater acoustic transmission.
