Abstract: For application requirements of safety monitoring in complex underwater environment, wireless magnetic induction communication technology was adopted to be information transmission technology. Principle of underwater wireless magnetic induction communication was introduced. Design scheme of an underwater wireless magnetic induction communication platform based on FSK modulation was expounded and communication test was taken out by use of the platform in simulated underwater environment. The test results show that the platform can realize wireless information transmission in underwater environment. The platform using unidirectional antenna will have communication interruption under the condition of changing position or angle of receiving antenna. While the platform using omnidirectional antenna can communicate normally in process of changing position or angle of receiving antenna, which improves communication reliability.
