description Unlike terrestrial radio, the speed of sound in the ocean is relatively slow, which results in mobile underwater M-ary spread spectrum communication typically exhibiting significant and variable multipath effects along with strong Doppler effects, leading to rapid carrier phase shifts in the received signal that severely impact decoding accuracy. This study aims to address the issue of rapid carrier phase shifts caused by significant time-varying Doppler shifts during mobile underwater M-SS communication. This paper innovatively proposes a method for updating matched filters based on correlation cost factors. By calculating the correlation cost factors for each received symbol, the method guides the direction of Doppler estimation and updates the matched filters. After identifying the optimal match, the received symbols are shifted, correlated, and decoded. Simulation and sea trial results indicate that this method demonstrates higher computational efficiency and improved decoding accuracy compared to traditional Doppler estimation matched filters under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions, and exhibits greater robustness under complex motion conditions.
