Additional Receiving Channels

Adding extra receiving channels enhances the modem’s capability by incorporating multiple hydrophones for improved signal processing. This upgrade enables spatial diversity combining, helping maintain reliable communication links in challenging environments while extending effective range. It also unlocks advanced functions such as localization and high-fidelity acoustic monitoring. For research users, the additional channels provide access to raw multi-channel data, making the modem a suitable platform for developing custom navigation and tracking algorithms for AUVs.
