Featured paper<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acoustic Ultra-Massive MIMO: closing the underwater bandwidth gap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our 2024 JSAC paper proposes a graphene-plasmonic transducer array enabling hundreds of simultaneous acoustic streams over fjord-scale ranges \u2014 a step change from single-channel sonar-era links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Abstract excerpt:<\/strong> “We introduce an ultra-massive transducer architecture exploiting the low attenuation of low-frequency acoustic bands and the spatial multiplexing gains of large-aperture arrays. Field trials in Hvalfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur demonstrate a 47\u00d7 throughput improvement over conventional single-element acoustic modems, at ranges exceeding 2.1 km, without surface infrastructure.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
