A connection that allows traffic in both directions simultaneously underwater is the example of fullduplex communication. Compared to a half duplex configuration, the full duplex network underwater may provide a better networking environment. Currently, most Underwater Acoustic Networks (UANs) still utilize half-duplex network communication. CDMA is the third kind of channel partitioning protocol. Most of the wireless communication devices utilize different kinds of CDMA protocol as a reliable and faster communication. The research conducted in establishing a full-duplex UAN using CDMA may provide reliable and faster communication compared to half-duplex. / Lieutenant Junior Grade, Turkish Navy

Approved for public release, distribution is unlimited / Presently, the uniform linear array (ULA) is the most commonly used antenna system for a sectorized cell system like the commercial cellular systems. However, in many omni-directional cell communication systems, such as the ground-based military communications, interest in using the uniform circular array (UCA) has greatly increased. This thesis examines the use of an equally-spaced circular adaptive antenna array at the mobile station for a typical coded direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) communication system. This thesis analyzed the performance of a randomly orientated adaptive UCA in the forward channel (base station to mobile station) of a coded multi-cell DS-CDMA system. Using a 3- and 4-element UCA, the ca-pacity and performance of different cellular systems under a range of shadowing conditions, with and without an-tenna sectoring at the base station, and various user capacities were simulated using the Monte Carlo simulation. The results for both ULA, as studied in [7], and UCA were compared and presented in this thesis. / http://hdl.handle.net/10945/1064 / Civilian, Defence Science and Technology Agency (Singapore)

Approved for public release, distribution is unlimited / This thesis examines a circular adaptive antenna array used at the mobile station for a typical Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) cellular mobile communications system. The primary objective is to reduce co-channel interference of a wideband CDMA cellular network under a multi-path fading environment. We analyzed the performance of a randomly positioned mobile terminal with a randomly orientated adaptive antenna array in the forward channel (base-station to mobile) of a multi-cell DS-CDMA system and established four performance boundaries. A single complex circular adaptive weight in each element channel of a circular adaptive array sufficiently processes narrowband signals. However, in order to process broadband signals, a tapped-delay line (transveral filter) is required. This tapped-delay line is employed because it can adjust the frequency dependent amplitude and phase. The performance of a DS-CDMA cellular system with a mobile terminal equipped with a circular array and a tapped-delay line is analyzed. It has been demonstrated that the optimization process has been extremely computationally expensive and hence minimum taps should be used for practical considerations. The results illustrated that, in general, for a four-element circular array system, a two tapped-delay line would be sufficient to equalize the broadband signal while providing a similar performance level to that of a narrow-band adaptive array system. / http://hdl.handle.net/10945/1080 / Major, Republic of Singapore Air Force
