An overview of electromagnetic propagation in seawater is discussed with some applications found in the literature. An experiment involving vertical dipoles submerged in seawater was performed to measure the frequency response at different ranges. The experimental results indicate that this dipole configuration can be effectively modeled as two vertical dipoles in a homogenous medium. Lastly, we provide a brief description of the current state of development of our underwater electric field modem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
