Thus projects of high speed and fidelity underwater become a hotspot in the fields of world academic circles. The conventional serial communication must use adaptive equalizer to combat the multipath in real-time. Since the underwater channel is nonstationary and the fades that it is frequency-selective, the underwater channel is hard to use the real-time channel equalization technology. However, the paralleling communication can meet the requirements of high speed and fidelity in underwater transmissions. OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is a kind of novel paralleling transmission technology. The principle of OFDM is that the whole bandwidth can be divided into some subchannels, the high-speed serial signal stream is modulated by some orthogonal subcarriers. OFDM has many advantages such as counter-multippaths, fully use of the frequency band and high data rate, therefore this technology is that the transmission can combat the intersymbol interference (ISI) at the receiver without complex adaptive equalizer. Thus OFDM has a promising future in underwater acoustic communication. But because of the sensitivity to the carrier frequency-offset, very small frequency offset will destroy the performance of the OFDM system, badly. In the thesis, the key technology of underwater acoustic (UWA) communication is to attain reliable high data rata transmission over underwater acoustic channels. First, the features of underwater acoustic channel are analyzed. And then the time delay spread and inter-symbol interference caused by multi-path effect are discussed. Potential measures to overcome multi-path and the problem should be noticed are introduced. In order to measure perf
