In the sea or ocean, the microprocessor-controlled buoy is provided to be automatically wirelessly scan for removal of underwater information and transmit it wirelessly to the main control station for additional processing and ultimate decision. In this study, sonar buoy performance and system design proposal with 7-31 cell replica correlation are presented. Although the digital delay lines are used to minimize the complexity of hardware-based replica correlator, the proposed software replica-correlated system within microprocessor-controlled buoys, has improved the performance.   </span> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>}, publisher={Gumushane University}
