This application relates to a multi-channel parallel Doppler
estimation method for shallow water acoustic communication systems, comprising: a transmitting end converting the
signal to be transmitted into binary code, framing it according to a preset QPSK
signal frame format, and transmitting the QPSK
signal, wherein the QPSK signal uses
Gold code as the frame header; a data receiving step, wherein the QPSK signal is transmitted to the receiving end via an
underwater acoustic channel, and the receiving end acquires the received signal; and a Doppler
estimation step, wherein the received signal is converted from analog to digital by an analog-to-
digital converter to obtain a discrete sequence of the received signal, the discrete sequence is input into multiple Doppler channels, and Doppler
estimation is performed in parallel based on N Doppler channels to obtain multiple output values, and a correlation detection module is used to determine the estimated Doppler factor value from the multiple output values. This application improves the accuracy of Doppler estimation in shallow water acoustic communication through a multi-channel parallel approach.
