LBL systems are unique in that they use networks of sea-floor mounted baseline transponders as reference points for navigation. These are generally deployed around the perimeter of a work site. The LBL technique results in very high positioning accuracy and position stability that is independent of water depth.
USBL (ultra-short baseline, also known as SSBL for super short base line) is a method of underwater acoustic positioning.A USBL system consists of a transceiver, which is mounted on a pole under a ship, and a transponder or responder on the seafloor, on a towfish, or on an ROV.
These devices have a depth gauge sensor, provide a dive profile, and safety alerts for fast ascents and mandatory safety stops using the depth data. In 2023, University of Washington researchers demonstrated a fourth class of 3D underwater positioning for these smart devices that does not require infrastructure support like buoys. [21]
A 4-inch (100 mm) underwater locator beacon, with ballpoint pen for scale A ULB attached to a bracket on a cockpit voice recorder. An underwater locator beacon (ULB), underwater locating device (ULD), or underwater acoustic beacon is a device that emits an acoustic pulse intended to guide searchers equipped with a suitable receiver to the location of the beacon underwater.
Jammers are low powered devices that transmit GPS signals in the same frequencies as other GPS or AIS signals to interrupt or hide the transmission in the same frequency. [51] In October 2022, a jamming attack near Denmark’s Great Belt Bridge (Danish: Storebæltsbroen) interrupted ship transmissions for 10 minutes. [ 52 ]
Underwater acoustic communication is a technique of sending and receiving messages in water. [1] There are several ways of employing such communication but the most common is by using hydrophones . Underwater communication is difficult due to factors such as multi-path propagation , time variations of the channel, small available bandwidth and ...
In telecommunications, a transponder is a device that, upon receiving a signal, emits a different signal in response. [1] The term is a blend of transmitter and responder . [ 2 ] [ 3 ]
Encoder receiver transmitter (ERT) is a packet radio protocol developed by Itron for automatic meter reading. [1] The technology is used to transmit data from utility meters over a short range so a utility vehicle can collect meter data without a worker physically inspecting each meter.
