IR Wireless Underwater Communication

Abstract

Wireless communication is a vital component of 
underwater operations, including environmental 
monitoring, surveillance and exploration. However, 
traditional wireless communication methods such as 
acoustic or radio frequency suffer from limited range, 
low bandwidth and interference. Infrared 
technology has emerged as a promising solution for 
underwater wireless communication due to its ability 
to transmit high-bandwidth data over long distances 
with minimal interference.In this project, we provide 
an overview of the current state of the art in 
underwater wireless communication systems that 
utilize infrared technology. We discuss the various 
components of these systems, including the 
transmitters, receivers and signal processing 
techniques. Additionally, we explore the benefits and 
limitations of using infrared technology for 
underwater wireless communication and identify 
areas for future research.Underwater wireless 
communications system is comprising first and 
second communications modules which transmit 
and receive data utilizing infrared radiation. Each 
module has a transmitter/receiver which converts 
each received data. The infrared light detecting unit 
then provides a logic zero at its output when it 
receives a pulsed burst of infrared radiation for time 
period of approximately six hundred microseconds 
and a logic one when the unit fails to detect a pulsed 
burst of infrared radiation for a time period of six 
hundred microseconds. Wireless infrared (IR) 
communication system is meant to use free space 
propagation of light waves as a transmission 
medium in near infrared band. Message communication is implemented by using IR as a 
source that is established a light communication 
(link to transmit and receive data via infrared light). 
The outcome of this proposed work is to design and 
implementation an optical wireless system to 
transmit data over a certain distance. This system 
has many advantages such as is an inexpensive and 
the transmitter or receiver can be showed to another 
location with least distraction. This system is used 
for easy communication with transmitter and 
receiver in underground water. If they need any help 
means to transmit the signal using IR transmitter 
remote the signal transfer to IR receiver circuit. So 
thus they can easily identify the information.
