Notes on underwater sound

Not a good idea to connect a piezo directly to the output of an iPod. Apparently the impedance is too low and it fried the audio circuit and battery. I should have just dropped it (the iPod) in the water instead of the piezo.

I was able to get excellent underwater sound using  a piezo for a mic – it was a little over an inch diameter, broken out of the radio shack black plastic case – with some hot glue to cover the wire connections – probably not necessary.

See this article about working with Radio Shack piezo transducers

http://www.edrums.info/radio_shack_piezo.htm

The speaker was a Dayton Audio Weatherproof Extreme Exciter – from Amazon – http://amzn.com/B0031K2XBA

And I used a small power amp to feed it. http://amzn.com/B0049P6OT

Note: the exciter also sounds great when its duct taped to a cymbal.

Other resources on RTTY / FSK decoding

  1. RTTY decoder application and paper describing the method.
  2. RTTY diddles, about the protocol
  3. DPLL theory
  4. Bit banging, simple bit synchronization
  5. UART character recovery
  6. FSK signals and demodulation
  7. FSK demodulation theory
  8. Receiver sync theory
