This paper presents the results of an experimental study of the adaptive communication system with phase separation. Adaptation is carried out by methods of machine learning and consists in transmitters phases regulation. An acoustic waveguide with a tunable metasurface is used as a propagation medium. In the case of multi-beam propagation and the presence of significant inter-symbol interference the transmission rate of 1 kbit/s was achieved. The adaptation time of the investigated system to sudden changes in the channel parameters does not exceed 10 cycles of training, even in case of significant fading.

The paper presents the results of a numerical and experimental study of an acoustic phase-shifter based on a chain of rectangular Helmholtz resonators. Phase regulation of the transmitted acoustic wave is made by simultaneously changing the resonators volumes with the stepper motor. As a result of the experiment it was found that the developed acoustic phase-shifter allows to manipulate the wave phase within the range of 0 - 2π in the frequency range of 2000 - 2500 Hz. The transmittance factor is not less than 0.7. The phase-shifter can be used as a unit cell of tunable acoustic metasurface.
