ABSTRACT
An underwater acoustic (UWA) channel model with high validity and re-usability is widely demanded. In this paper, we propose a variational auto-encoder (VAE)-based deep generative model which learns an abstract representation of the UWA channel impulse responses (CIRs) and can generate CIR samples with similar features. A customized training process is proposed to avoid the model collapse and being trapped in a gradient pit. The proposed deep generative model is validated using field experimental data sets.
