Abstract: The paper describes the design of underwater acoustic channel model for OFDM communication system. The underwater acoustic channel considered includes multipath effect, attenuation loss, absorption loss, spreading loss and total noise due to thermal Noise, turbulence Noise, shipping Noise, wave Noise. The acoustic channel model used for OFDM Communication will have the noise effect due to attenuation loss and ambient noise (Total Noise). In this research work, In the underwater channel, Multipath parameters such as length, width and depth and attenuation parameters such as frequency, salinity, radial range, SPS and ambient noise parameters such as shipping factor, wave factor are considered in calculating total noise.

Keywords: Attenuation, Spreading, Absorption, Underwater Acoustic Channel.
Scope of the Article: Communication
