Abstract:With the development of Marine military and strategy, it is difficult for traditional acoustics to meet the requirements of air-water cross-media communication. Magnetic induction communication technology can be used as a technical supplement for air-water transmedia because of its advantages of consistent permeability, stable channel, fast speed, flexible volume and low cost in air-water medium. In this paper, based on magnetic dipole, the magnetic field propagation model of air water across media is studied to prove the continuity of magnetic field propagation at the air water interface. After that, a communication transceiver circuit is designed based on USRP and a magnetic induction communication system is realized. Under the condition of 10cm radius of transmitting coil and 1mW transmitting power, the system realizes error-free text transmission of air water (lake) 20m across medium and 10kbps communication rate, which proves the feasibility of magnetic induction communication in air water across medium and has certain guiding significance for subsequent related research.
