Abstract
Acoustic coded signaling offers potentially significant improvements over traditional "toneburst" methods in many underwater applications where error due to noise and multipath interference is a problem. In this thesis, the use of these spread spectrum techniques is analyzed for navigation of the REMUS autonomous underwater vehicle. The accuracy of the current system using Turyn and Barker sequences, as well as toneburst, is quantified, and the sources of the remaining error are examined.
