High Frequency Antenna Design Challenges for Underwater Communication - An Intensive Probe

Abstract

Underwater sensor nodes enable applications for marine data collection, pollution monitoring, offshore exploration and tactical surveillance applications. These sensors which are placed on underwater vehicles are also used in the exploration of undersea resources and gathering scientific data in collaborative monitoring missions. To make these applications possible, communications must made be made possible underwater devices. These networks consists of a number of sensor nodes and vehicles that are deployed to perform collaborative monitoring tasks over a given area.In this paper the detailed survey study of several techniques related to underwater communication antenna systems and challenges for establishing a communication network which are posed in the deepwater bed and the possible solutions for overcoming the issues are discussed.
