GOALS
Developing an underwater communication system
using hydrophone.
INTRODUCTION
Underwater
wireless
communication
is the
communication is
the wireless communication in which
acoustic
signals carry
digital information through an underwater channel.
Electromagnetic waves are not used as they
propagate over
short distances. Over the past decades, heavy cables
were used
to establish a high speed communication between
remote end
and the surface . To overcome
such difficulties,
underwater
wireless communication has come into existence.
NECESSITY OF UNDERWATER
WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
Wired underwater is not feasible in all situations as
shown below-:
Temporary experiments
Breaking of wires
Significant cost of deployment
Experiment over long distances.
To cope up with above situations, we require
underwater wireless
communication.
HYDROPHONE
Hydrophone (Greek hydro = water and phone =
sound) is a
microphone designed to be used underwater for
recording or
listening to underwater sound.

PIEZOELECTRIC PROCESS
Materials which generate an electric potential in
response to mechanical stress are considered to be
piezoelectric materials. Such materials will also
change shape when an electric field is applied
tothem.
ADVANTAGES
Hydrophones does not require a power source as they convert
mechanical energy into electrical energy. Although other
devices such as underwater cameras need a power source.
Under water cameras are not as accurate as hydrophones
because underwater cameras must be kept in air tight
container.
DISADVANTAGES
Hydrophones can only listen to sound and pressure differences.
Hydrophones are limited in their ability to distinguish between
multiple objects or natural phenomenon and artificial noise.
Set up requires time and space.
CONCLUSION
Despite much development in this area of the underwater wireless
communication, there is still an immense scope so more research as
major part of the ocean bottom yet remains unexploded. The main
objective is to overcome the present limitation and implement
advanced technology for oceanographic research and cope up with
the environmental effects on the noise performance of acoustic
systems
to
compete with
the
future
challenges
like
effective
transmission of audio and video signals etc.
