“…The proposed modem is developed using RF technology, as an extension to our previous work published in the studies of Maher et al (2019Maher et al ( , 2020, Kamal et al 2019, Nasser et al 2019, Mahmoud et al (2018). In the study of Maher et al 2019, two RF modules were tested, one operating at a frequency 433 MHz, while the other is operating at 2.4 GHz.…”

“…In literature, UWC is mainly done using one of three technologies: optical communications (Sawa et al, 2019), radio frequency (RF) communications (Kamal et al, 2019;Maher et al, 2019), and acoustic communications (Sanchez et al, 2011(Sanchez et al, , 2012Sendra et al, 2016;Zia et al, 2018). Although, acoustic is the primary underwater technology due to its water turbulence immunity and the ability to operate without line of sight.…”

“…RF communications can be used to transfer data with moderate data rates over short distances and can cross air/water boundary smoothly. This along with multipath propagating was found to be a benefit in many different types of waters (Garcia et al, 2011;Ali et al, 2019). Additionally, RF devices are very cheat and small in size when compared to both optical and acoustic communication devices (Awan et al, 2019).…”

Underwater communication (UWC) has become an attractive research field over the past few decades. This is mainly due to the increase in underwater applications such as exploration, monitoring, and warning systems. Traditional communications techniques face many obstacles when used underwater. Optical communications require line of sight which is not always maintained underwater due to turbulence. Acoustic communication does not suffer from that, however, it can only operate with very low rates. While radio frequency (RF) communication can only operate over short distances due to the attenuation from the water, it can deliver relatively high data rates and does not require line of sight nor affected by turbulence. Additionally, it does not suffer much when crossing the air-water boundaries. Moreover, underwater nodes require a new method of powering as it is not feasible to change their batteries when they are depleted. And so, we have investigated underwater solar power harvesters as a means to power the underwater nodes. In this paper, we design, implement, integrate, and test a low cost solar powered RF underwater modem to be used as a building block of an underwater wireless sensor network. The system was tested with multiple nodes to allow multi-hop communications in order to increase the communication distance. Results show that the network operates with a moderate to high throughput from end to end.

“…Taking into account electrical and physical parameters, the available literature on the throughput of the shallow water RF network was very limited. Maher et al [18] observed the performance of an underwater RF transmission in terms end‐to‐end delay, throughput, and a number of corrupt packets using point‐to‐point communication between two nodes. The experimental values are obtained at 433 MHz and 2.4 GHz.…”
