  Abstract

In this paper, we describe the implementation of an underwater acoustic mobile modem based on direct sequence spread spectrum scheme using a bandwidth of about 2.1kHz at a carrier frequency of 6.25kHz and spreading to 16 chip symbols per symbol with a channel symbol rate of about 97.6 symbol/sec. The implemented underwater acoustic mobile modem uses DQPSK modulation to simplify signal processing in the receiver. In addition, in order to respond to a change in the movement speed of the modem within one packet, one packet is divided into 20 sub-frames and transmitted, and the receiver estimates the Doppler shift for each sub-frame and compensates for the Doppler shift for each sub-frame. The effective information data transmission speed of the implemented modem is about 82.5bps when using the Turbo code with a code rate of 1/2, and about 109.8bps when using the Turbo code with a code rate of 2/3. The implemented modem is well operates at a moving speed of up to 18m/s using a channel simulator, and it is successfully received data at a distance of 5km in the shallow water when an other implemented modem transmits data with the 1/10 of the normal output amplitude. The implemented modem will be used for the purpose of delivering a short message in a long-distance mobile environment.
