Abstract: To further improve the quality of underwater acoustic communication on the premise that the bandwidth utilization rate is not reduced, an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) underwater communication system using acoustic vector sensor and differential amplitude and phase-shift keying (DAPSK) modulation is presented by describing the principle of DAPSK modulation and vector signal processing technology. According to the actual sound velocity gradient, the true acoustic channel is modulated using the channel modulator. The performance of system is researched. The results show that the spatial gain can be obtained by the linear combined signal processing, including pressure and particle velocity data from acoustic vector sensor gains. And the performance of OFDM underwater communication system using acoustic vector sensor and DAPSK modulation is better than that of the scalar one.
