Aimed at the problems such as highly complexity

difficult technology

higher development costs in the acoustic system

underwater detection and communications simulation experimental system based on the ideas of virtual instrument and software radio is designed.The principle and details of the system is introduced

and software and hardware design of system was achieved.System uses PC-based modular architecture design and has advantages of low cost

scalability

simple operation and so on.Test results show that system can be used in modeling and simulation such as acoustic communication

target detection.
