Because_x000D_
there is a need to recover the raw acoustic information in real-time, standard protocols cannot achieve the_x000D_
throughput requirement. In this work, a low-complexity, low-power communication link is developed to enable_x000D_
communication between multiple sensors, and one master controller. A bi-directional communication protocol_x000D_
with very low overhead is defined, and the payload from the multiple sensor nodes will be routed back using_x000D_
simple time division duplexing. Also, during the reverse link, control information will be sent to the sensors._x000D_
The objective of this project is to optimize the point-to-point link performance using specific front-end_x000D_
requirements. For this purpose, clock synchronization of the multiple nodes will be required, and the distortion_x000D_
of the signal due to cable bandwidth limitations will be mitigated using adaptive filters. The expertise gained_x000D_
throughout this project is at the intersect of information and ocean technologies, two areas of high interest for_x000D_
