Satellite assisted underwater radio communication for emergency services

摘要

This paper proposes an emergency scenario which is satellite assisted underwater radio communication network for emergency services. Identification of effective range of underwater radio communication with the integration of versatile NAV/COM devices is the main focus. Possible transmission paths have been discussed and effective numerical computations are carried out to determine the underwater communication range. Constraints like conductivity (σ), attenuation (a), refraction or interface loss and wavelength (λ) in water for underwater radio communication are considered.
