ABSTRACT This p ap er designs an underwater acoustic communication system based on tamed sp read sp ectrum and Frequency Hopping Multip le Access (FHMA) f or multip le underwater vehicles. In this system, multip le underwater vehicles can communicate with the console on the water surf ace simultaneously successf ully . The communication system is com- po sed of tamed sp read sp ectrum modulation and demodulation, f requency hopp ing modulation and demodulation with sy nchronization f unction, 4FSK modulation and demodulation and Rake Receiver. In order to make the system more fe asible, underwater channel and the eff ect of user number on Bit Error Ratio (BER) are also taken into account. The simulation results indicate that it is f easible to use this system to accomp lish underwater communication reliably f or multip le users due to the low BER.
