The Matlab code for absorption coefficient in underwater wireless communication networks

This code helps to find the absorption coefficient values for a particular frequency range.

Description

The absorption coefficient can be obtained empirically by using Thorp's formula.Thie formula that used in the code is generally valid for the frequencies above a few hundred hz.The absorption coefficient is used to find the absorption loss part of the path loss in underwater wirelss communication.It increase rapidly with frequency, and is major factor that limits the maximal usable frequency for an acoustic link of a given distance.
