LBL System for Underwater Acoustic Positioning: Concept and Equations

Systems and Control 2022-04-19 v1 Systems and Control Instrumentation and Detectors

Abstract

GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) positioning is not available underwater due to the very short range of electromagnetic waves in the sea water medium. In this article a LBL (Long Base Line) acoustic repeater system of the GNSS positioning is presented. The system is hyperbolic, i.e., based on time differences and it does not need very accurate atomic clocks to synchronize repeaters.
