Abstract

Digital acoustic signal processing can be applied to sonar and acoustic communications. Especially, transmitting acoustic signal to the desired direction has many applications in military and industry fields. In this paper, we present a steerable digital communication system using parametric array transducers. To evaluate the proposed system, we build digital communication system by using transducer array, power amplifier and Labview software. The Labview software is composed of two parts. The first part is designed to generate beam to the desired direction by changing parameters such as number of sensors, complex weight of each sensor, type of transmit data and etc. The second part is to generate modulated signal of ASK, FSK and PSK, and to demodulate the received signals. With laboratory experiments, we verify the performance of the proposed communication system. Experimental results show that the system can be used to mitigate multipath effect in shallow water and can achieve high data-rate transmission
