Abstract - We characterize performance improvement of differential frequency hopping modulation under two techniques that mitigate the multipath effects of the underwater acoustic channel: blind adaptive equalization and beamforming. We report results on data collected at-sea during the RACE08, SPACE08 and WHOI09 experiments, and show that the biterror rate improves with the application of these two techniques. Future improvements may combine joint single-element, blind equalization and beamforming (multi-element) approaches to leverage their respective strengths.
