Covert acoustic communications through solid propagation channels using spread spectrum coding and adaptive channel pre-distortion

Covert acoustic communications (CAC) through solid propagation channels that connect node pairs is achieved by encoding signals using spread spectrum coding techniques that position the encoded signal at a center frequency f.sub.c within a narrow frequency bandwidth BW.sub.NB in which the amplitude of the channel response H(f) between each node pair is relatively high. The channel response H(f), bandwidth BW.sub.NB and center frequency f.sub.c, and accordingly the signal data rate will adapt for each node pair and possibly each side of the node pair. A pre-distortion filter 1/H(f) pre-distorts the encoded signal over bandwidth BW.sub.NB to compensate for material and modal dispersion and multipath between the node pair. This technique avoids the problems associated with frequency dependent attenuation of the continuous solid path and allows for simultaneous transmission and reception of signals among the multiple node pairs.
