The feasibility of using inductive coupling with existing submarine telephone cables for telemetry of data from ocean sensors was
investigated. The submarine telephone cable was simulated with a computer model and the model results were tested experimentally by
deploying 600 meters of coax cable in Woods Hole Harbor. In parallel a
study of the optimum access methods and modulation and techniques
was performed.
Results of the feasibility study showed that a non-invasive
technique for inductive coupling is not feasible for use with existing SF
and SD coaxial cable designs. Signals induced in both conductors by a
toroid encircling the cable remain identical as they propagate along the
cable as a result of mutual inductance. Thus, no signals are apparent at
the repeaters. Optimal use of cable bandwidth combines time division
multiple access with trellis-coded QAM modulation.
