Acoustical array data from the Shallow Water Acoustics experiment was processed to show the feasibility of broadband mode decomposition as a preprocessing method to reduce the effective channel delay spread and concentrate received signal energy in a small number of independent channels. The data were collected by a vertical array designed at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. Phase-shift Keying (PSK) m-sequence modulated signals with different carrier frequencies were transmitted at a distance 19.2 km from the array. Even during a strong internal waves activity a low bit error rate was achieved.

Piecewise coherent mode processing of acoustic data recorded on two horizontally separated vertical line arrays
Udovydchenkov, Ilya A.; Brown, Michael G.; Duda, Timothy F. (Acoustical Society of America, 2012-05-25)Motivated by measurements made in the 2004 Long-Range Ocean Acoustic Propagation Experiment (LOAPEX), the problem of mode processing transient acoustic signals collected on two nearby vertical line arrays is considered. ... -
Physically constrained maximum likelihood (PCML) mode filtering and its application as a pre-processing method for underwater acoustic communication
Papp, Joseph C. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2009-09)Mode filtering is most commonly implemented using the sampled mode shape or pseudoinverse algorithms. Buck et al placed these techniques in the context of a broader maximum a posteriori (MAP) framework. However, the MAP ... -
