Water based vehicle communications system
First Claim
1. A water based vehicle communications system comprising at least one water based vehicle provided with a transmitter at least, and at least one station provided with a receiver at least, wherein said transmitter comprises:
- a data input representative of image data at least;
a modulator, for modulating the input data onto a carrier signal; and
an antenna for transmitting modulated electromagnetic and/or magnetic signals, andsaid at least one receiver comprising;
an antenna for receiving modulated electromagnetic and/or magnetic signals,wherein said water based vehicle and station are operable to communicate when at least one of said water based vehicle and station is partially immersed in water.

Abstract
An underwater communications system is provided that transmits electromagnetic and/or magnetic signals to a remote receiver. The transmitter includes a data input. A digital data compressor compresses data to be transmitted. A modulator modulates compressed data onto a carrier signal. An electrically insulated, magnetic coupled antenna transmits the compressed, modulated signals. The receiver that has an electrically insulated, magnetic coupled antenna for receiving a compressed, modulated signal. A demodulator is provided for demodulating the signal to reveal compressed data. A de-compressor de-compresses the data. An appropriate human interface is provided to present transmitted data into text/audio/visible form. Similarly, the transmit system comprises appropriate audio/visual/text entry mechanisms.
