Abstract

This article is devoted to the comparison of preambles for signal detection in underwater acoustic (UWA) communications. The main feature of the UWA channel is the strong influence of the Doppler effect on transmitted signals. This is because the lowest and the highest frequencies of the UWA system bandwidth can differ by from several tens percent to several hundred percent so transmitted signal suffers from frequency dependent Doppler frequency shift. The following pretenders are considered: m-sequences, OFDM-symbols, linear and hyperbolic frequency modulated (LFM and HFM) signals. When modeling stationary and moving transmitter and receiver in shallow water channels, it is shown that HFM provides the best performance.
