Abstract:The use of acoustic communications in any number of projected applications requires trade-offs within the realm of technologies currently available and those projected for the future. Analyses must be performed to predict the performance, strengths, and limitations of competing approaches. Because underwater acoustic data telemetry can be viewed as a union of sonar and communications, it suffers from the same environmental degradation as sonar and communications systems. Efforts undertaken to date have shown t… Show more
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.
