When the source waveform is unknown, the Green's function can be estimated by Ray-based Blind Deconvolution (RBD) based on the simple array signal processing. In previous papers, RBD was successfully demonstrated using simulation and experiments in shallow water environment. In this paper, we investigate the applicability of RBD for a long-range communication (e.g., 30 km, 60 km, and 90 km) in a deep water environment (1,000 m ~), using experimental data conducted in the east of Pohang, South Korea, in October 2018. Data results are presented to demonstrate Green's function estimation of a communication signal (2.2 kHz ~ 2.9 kHz) using a 16-element, 42-m long vertical array. The results show that the Green's function estimated from RBD is comparable to that of matched filter result. Additional communication performance at a maximum range of 90 km will be also presented.
