Underwater Wireless Charging and Communication Integrated System

At present, resource development and scientific research activities require the support of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) and underwater sensors in the marine field. However, the power supply of underwater sensors and the return of data have become problems to be solved. This paper proposes an underwater wireless charging and communication integrated system, which can simultaneously realize the charging of underwater sensors by AUV and the communication of underwater sensors to AUV. Specifically, different coil configurations are employed on the AUV and the underwater sensor, respectively, which ensures that the charging and communication processes do not interfere with each other. In addition, the new communication methods involved in the system are mainly analyzed, and the data transmission process is studied when the communication transmitting loops are using the different feeding phases. The simulation results show that the system can not only achieve efficient energy transmission, but also ensure the reliability of data transmission.
