Abstract

Localization and tracking of underwater moving objects are of great interest in

many applications. This thesis presents a recent sea test on underwater

localization carried out in the Sizihwan coastal area near Kaohsiung, Taiwan, May 2013,

where three stationary nodes are used to localize one mobile node via acoustic

communications based on orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)

modems. Experimental results show that the estimated trajectory of the

underwater mobile node agrees well with the track recorded by global

positioning system (GPS).
