Abstract:
Despite the recent intensive research on adaptive algorithms for self-interference (SI) cancellation (SIC) in in-band full-duplex (IBFD) underwater acoustic communication (UWAC), there has been relatively little exploration of how the IBFD-UWAC modem shell affects the SI signal. This paper analyzes the effects of the shell material and the near-end receiver position on the SI signal. The analysis is done with a two-dimensional finite-element model in a free-field simulation environment, which combines the differential equation of motion and the time-dependent solver. The SI signal strength around the modem shell in the far-field conditions is obtained. The simulation and pool experiment results both show that (i) the strength of the received SI signal is lowest when the near-end receiver is on a line extending from the shell's geometric center perpendicularly to its central axis and (ii) a shell material with a high elastic coefficient is more conducive to suppressing the SI signal. A pool experiment showed that changing the spatial position of the near-end receiver and the shell material from aluminum to stainless steel enhanced the SIC performance of the IBFD-UWAC system by at least 12 and 4 dB, respectively.

Two special sources may be considered when they are in phase. This can be easily achieved by feeding the two sources from the same source. An example would be synchronizing the two speakers by feeding them with the same source, such as the sound waves produced by a tuning fork. This setup ensures that the two sources have the same frequency and are...

Consider a scenario where a wave propagates from a string of low linear mass density to a string of high linear mass density. In such a case, the reflected wave is out of phase with respect to the incident wave, however the...

Interference occurs in mechanical waves, such as sound waves, waves on a string, and surface water waves. Mechanical waves correspond to the physical displacement of particles. Hence,...

Imagine the sound is reflected back to the ears. Assuming that the source is very close to the human, the difference between hearing the two sounds—the emitted sound and the reflected sound—may be more than the minimum time for perceiving distinct sounds. If this is the case,...
