Abstract:
This paper proposes a superimposed training method for
low probability of detection underwater acoustic communications. A
long pilot sequence was superimposed to the message for equalization
and synchronization purposes. A fast Hadamard transform (FHT)
estimated the channel impulse response and compressed the pilot energy.
A Wiener filter performed equalization. The interference signal was
removed using "Hyperslice Cancellation by Coordinate Zeroing". An
inverse FHT decompressed the remaining sequence energy and the message
was retrieved. Results from a shallow water experiment presented
bit error rates < 0.01 for signal-to-noise ratios < -8 dB.
