This paper presents a wireless communication system for underwater vehicles based on magnetic coils and discusses the mathematical model of magnetic field induction. Experimental results show that the proposed system can work properly in different environments without being affected by underwater conditions. The advantages of using this system compared to existing submarine communication systems are also discussed.
In this work, a wireless communication system based on magnetic coils for underwater vehicles is presented. Firstly, the mathematical model of magnetic field induction using magnetic coils is discussed. Then, a description of the proposed communication system is presented, including the main components of the transmitter and receiver module. The experimental results show that due to the properties of the magnetic field, the proposed communication system can work properly in different environments such as air or water with the same efficiency. Underwater tests were carried out in different water circumstances: varying the temperature in a range from 10 degrees C to 35 degrees C, varying concentrations of clay in a range from 0% to 10%, and varying the salinity concentration in a range from 1000 ppm ( parts per million) to 35,000 ppm. It was observed that these conditions do not affect the information transfer. Finally, the advantages of using the proposed system compared to existing submarine communication systems are discussed.
