Impact Of Channel Statistics And Correlation On Underwater Acoustic Communication Systems, Jesse Scott Cross
Impact Of Channel Statistics And Correlation On Underwater Acoustic Communication Systems, Jesse Scott Cross
Masters Theses
"Several statistical properties of underwater acoustic channels gathered from experiment data are analyzed. The baseband channel impulse response (CIR) is estimated using a time domain least squares technique with a sliding window applied to the probing sequences. From the CIR estimation, the probability distribution functions (PDFs) of the magnitude, real part, imaginary part, and phase of the CIR are calculated. Gamma, Rayleigh, and compound k distributions are fitted to the magnitude PDF and the fitness of the distributions are calculated with a two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Other statistics such as the autocorrelation function, coherence time, and scattering function are evaluated. The …
