Abstract

A method and apparatus for underwater acoustic communication are disclosed. A data packet frame structure in the communication transmission includes a preamble, a synchronization code, and a data code. A guard interval is disposed between the preamble and the synchronization code. This method utilizes the different impact response environments of linear frequency modulation signals in different frequency bands to obtain the mapping relationships corresponding to the characteristics of the impulse responses in the frequency band, and adopts the quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation method to convert four groups of LMF signals with different center frequencies and the same modulation frequency, representing different symbols for signal transmission, where the LFM carrier signal of each center frequency can represent two bits of binary information to improve transmission efficiency. The apparatus for underwater acoustic communication also has the above-mentioned technical effects.
