摘要

Time-variant sea surface scattering and Doppler spreading due to source/receiver motion cause the signal fading stochastically in amplitude and phase fluctuation. Consequently, the performance of underwater acoustic communication systems are degraded, and high-speed digital communication is disrupted. In this study, a channel simulator for flat fading over time-variant sea surface scattering and Doppler spread in source/receiver motion is presented. Rayleigh and Rice fading models are adopted and their distributions are compared with the distribution measured in a water tank. The bit error rate of binary phase shift keying (BPSK) and binary frequency shift keying (BFSK) for flat fading is examined to evaluate the simulator performance.
