Abstract
Wireless information transmission underwater is one of the enabling technologies for the development of future ocean-observation systems, whose applications include gathering of scientific data, pollution control, climate monitoring, detection of objects on the ocean floor, and transmission of images from remote sites. Implicitly, wireless signal transmission is crucial for control of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) which will serve as mobile nodes in the future information networks of distributed underwater sensors. Wireless communication provides advantages of collecting data without the need to retrieve instruments, and maneuvering underwater vehicles and robots without the burden of cables. It is most often accomplished using acoustic transmission, although other approaches including optics and electromagnetic fields are also being investigated for short-range high-bandwidth links.
