Abstract

See full text

A link adaptive orthogonal frequency-division multiplexed (OFDM) ultrasonic physical layer is provided that is capable of high data rate communication through metallic structures. The use of an adaptive OFDM subcarrier-based modulation technique mitigates the effects of severe frequency selective fading of the through-metal communication link and improves spectral efficiency by exploiting the slow-varying nature of the channel. To address the potential ill effects of peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and to make more efficient use of the power amplifiers in the system, the invention modifies and implements a symbol rotation and inversion-based PAPR reduction algorithm in the adaptive OFDM framework. This joint adaptive physical layer is capable of increasing data rates by roughly 220% in comparison to conventional narrowband techniques at average transmit powers of roughly 7 mW while constrained to a desired BER.
