AI Technical Summary
Existing underwater acoustic communication methods have relatively fixed time-frequency characteristics, making them easy to decipher. Furthermore, their detection performance is limited in low signal-to-noise ratio environments, making it difficult to achieve effective covert communication.
A method combining chaotic spread spectrum and biomimetic camouflage is adopted. The chaotic sequence is generated by Logistic mapping for hopping code coding and frequency hopping spread spectrum modulation. Adaptive threshold detection based on maximum correlation value and average correlation value is used at the receiver to achieve covert signal transmission.
It improves the concealment and anti-interference ability of underwater acoustic communication, enhances the detection performance in complex underwater acoustic channels, and reduces the algorithm complexity.
