Description
Summary:The article of record as published may be found at https://doi.org/10.1575/1912/861 This report describes the application of a new technique of digital radio telemetry, based on a recently available wireless Local Area Network Ethernet adapter, to the need for realtime transmission of data from a vertical line array (VLA) of hydrophones to a nearby ship. The report is technical in nature and discusses the design and performance of the system as used during the Barents Sea Polar Front Experiment in August 1992. A key feature of the use of LAN technology in a "telemetry" application is the availability of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) software for Ethernet hardware that greatly eases the task of achieving error free digital data over a radio link prone to dropouts. Funding was provided by the Long Beach Naval Regional Contracting Center Detachment under Contract N00123-92-C-007l and the Office of Naval Research under Contract N000l4-9l-J-1246.
