Study On Acoustic Communication Methods In Periodic Tube Structure

With many periodical discontinuous boundaries, periodic tube structure is prone to inter-symbol interference in acoustic communication. To look for the appropriate communication method and improve the quality of acoustic communication in the structure, experiments were carried out in the real periodic structure using raised cosine ASK, FSK and BPSK modulation respectively. The results show that: in periodic tube structure, ASK, FSK, and BPSK all can realize normal acoustic communication in the condition without noise or the noise is weak. Raised cosine ASK modulation can better use transmission power and get the highest data rate (up to 65.7Kbps in the experimental structure) in un-noise environment. BPSK has the best noise immunity in the condition with noise. So, the BPSK is more suitable for the actual acoustic communication in periodic tube structure in the actual environment.
