Abstract

Current systems for multi-channel underwater signal processing suffer from a tied relation between the hardware and physical layer software or require a large amount of engineering work. To provide a low-cost, small form factor and flexible solution, this work presents a multi-channel testbed consisting of an off-the-shelf FPGA board and a simple expansion board. Nonetheless, the proposed testbed provides the flexibility and processing power to evaluate novel multi-channel physical layer algorithms.
