Decision Feedback Equalization for Underwater Acoustic Channels Deepthi Chander (05407003) Pallavi Manohar (05407002)
Features of Underwater Acoustic (UWA) channels • Underwater acoustic channels - severely bandlimited • High temporal and spatial variability of channel conditions and multipath propagation. • Digital transmission-severe ISI caused. • Non-Gaussian noise environments.

Simulation Set-up • PROpogation channel SIMulator (PROSIM) - based channel model (www.saclantc.nato.int/mast/prosim/mainpg/main.html) • PROSIM used for simulations of broad-band (100Hz-10kHz) sound propagation • Source depth=30 m • Receiver depth = 40 m, Range=1 km • Frequency = 500 Hz • Channel constant for 0.2 minutes and multipath delay spread =0.685 seconds • Data rate assumed = 1000 bps • Noise: AWGN, coloured • Adaptive algorithm: RLS
PROSIM channel model simulations • AWGN • Number of taps=32 • Feedforward filter: 20 taps • Feedback filter: 12 taps • At 20 dB SNR : %of bits in error = 35.
