Abstract

Recently multi-carrier orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communications, popularly used in wireless channels, has been introduced in underwater acoustic channels with a large delay spread, as an alternative to the typical single carrier approaches. In this paper, we investigate multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) OFDM communications which can effectively increase the data rate in band-limited underwater channels. The performance of MIMO OFDM communications will be illustrated using the data collected from the KAM11 experiment conducted in shallow water, west of Kauai, Hawaii, which involved multiple transmit and receive arrays with different bandwidths, inter-element spacings, and apertures at various ranges between them up to 10 km.
