Experimental Model for Data Transmission in the Underwater Environment

Abstract

Communications applications in the underwater environment have recently developed a considerable development due to the demand for underwater research with Robot Underwater Vehicle (ROV). The most important aspects addressed by researchers are related to the speed and distance of data transmissions. In most cases, this data signal may be electromagnetic, optical or acoustic. The first two cases have limitations on the distance of the communication channel due to signal attenuation. That is why the acoustic field can be considered the favorite in this choice. In this case, the limitations of use are given by the acoustic field propagation, which depends on the temperature, salinity and pressure of the underwater environment and the result is the variation of the propagation speed. The influence of frequency on attenuation and reverberation are important factors limiting the use of the acoustic field. Based on these considerations, the paper presents an experimental transceiver model of data transmission using Frequency Shift Keying (FSK), modulation with phase discontinuity for transmitting and receiving commands at the speed of 2kbits / s

Early Transhumanism Ideas and Their Extensions Regarding Evolution of Technology and of Artificial Intelligence

“…These new technologies, however, are frequently not sufficiently known and insufficiently assessed and people are often times very much unaware of the dangers and of the consequences of their online actions, and of willingly giving their personal data and their personal information [11,12,13].…”

On a potential relationship between climate change and seismic activity of Earth, explained by a general model

“…Much of the data necessary to generate this complex model is either not published online or it has not been made available, since it is generated by sophisticated and costly instruments and equipment, as, for example, in the case of [4] and [5], and hence cannot be freely made available on internet. A great deal of this data which is actually not available on Internet, because of the higher costs related to this data, being either costs incurred due to the value of equipment involved in the gathering of this data, or costs with the scientists and researchers using this latest equipment and pieces of technology, could be used, if available, to generate this complex model presented.…”
