Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited Link-budget analysis is commonly applied to satellite and wireless communications for estimating signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver. Link-budget analysis considers transmitter power, transmitter antenna gain, channel losses, channel noise, and receiver antenna gain. For underwater signaling, the terms of the sonar equation readily translate to a formulation of the link budget. However, the strong frequency dependence of underwater acoustic propagation requires special consideration, and is represented as an intermediate result called the channel SNR. The channel SNR includes ambient-noise and transmission-loss components. Several acoustic communication and navigation problems are addressed through wideband link-budget analyses. 2012-03-14T17:47:09Z 2012-03-14T17:47:09Z 2002-06 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10945/5916 This publication is a work of the U.S. Government as defined in Title 17, United States Code, Section 101.
