چکیده
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) operating at extreme depths face substantial challenges
in maintaining reliable data communication due to high pressure, strong absorption,
and environmental noise. This study presents a numerical analysis and system-level design of
an acoustic communication framework for a deep-sea AUV operating at 6000 meters.
Transmission Loss (TL), Received Power (Pr), and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) are evaluated
across frequencies from 5–30 kHz and communication ranges up to 10 km. Results indicate
tances that low-frequency signals (5–10 kHz) enable significantly longer communication dis
ducers due to reduced absorption. Practical implementation considerations including trans
, hydrophones, and signal-conditioning are also discussed to support real-world de
ployment. Unlike many existing studies that focus on shallow or mid-depth underwater
communication, this work specifically addresses acoustic system design constraints for ultradeep
operations at depths up to 6000 meters in offshore oil and gas environments. Findings
offer quantitative and practical guidelines for selecting acoustic frequencies and designing
robust communication systems for deep-sea AUV missions
