Abstract
Recently, researches on underwater sensor networks (USN) for ocean development and disaster prevention have been emerged as one of interesting topics. Since low-power, high-speed and inexpensive communication modem is a prerequisite for deployment of USN, we design and implement an underwater modem by utilizing general-purpose waterproof ultrasonic sensors in this paper. Also, we make an experiment in a water tank containing sensor nodes and a sink node, a gateway, and show that point-to-multipoint communication is possible at a data rate of 1 kbps.
