A wellbore wireless communication method based on underwater acoustic wave has been proposed to address the low transmission rate and high environment requirement of the existing wellbore wireless signal transmission technology.The welbore wireless communication system based on under-water acoustic waves has been designed.The signal to be transmitted is coded,modulated,amplified and emitted by the water acoustic wave emission system on the ground.Then the signal transmitted through the water acoustic channel is received,conditioned and demodulated by the under-water acoustic receive system.Researches have been focused on the key technologies such as the water acoustic signal process circuit,the transducer and the modulation-demodulation algorithm.The emission/receive transducer with12kHz central frequency and the corresponding signal processing circuit have been developed.The laboratory and ground tests have been conducted to test the communication ability of under-water acoustic signal under different distances,and200meters signal communication have been realized successfully.The result shows that,the system which uses wellbore water acoustic wave as signal carrier can realize the function of wireless data transmission.The system has the benefits of higher decoding accuracy and stronger immunity from interference.The study could provide foundation for the research and experiment of long distance water acoustic communication technology in wellbore.
