Abstract :
High rate communication over a very shallow channel is discussed. A multipath for such a channel is proposed and is used to predict performance of a phase modulated acoustic communication system. The results obtained indicate that transmission rates in excess of 6 kbits/s are possible over a distance of 3.5 km and in a water depth of only 15 meters. Such a system can find application for collecting data from underwater sensors
