| Summary: | This research focuses on designing a compact antenna for underwater
communication between Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and dock stations
at close range. The proposed antenna is a 39.18 cm x 39.98 cm hexagonal
loop planar antenna. The RF communication utilizes a VHF band frequency.
Measurement results show that the antenna has reflection coefficient of -20 dB
at frequency of 44 MHz and bandwidth of 24 MHz. The performance of the
RF communication system is tested on bit transmission and text communication
using underwater OFDM. The RF communication system produced an exemplary
constellation diagram and successfully received the transmitted text data. |
