Pulsed Ion current transmitter with cyclical current aggregation

A pulsed ion current transmitter, comprising:

• an enclosed racetrack having an interior configured to be placed under vacuum, the enclosed racetrack having an ion injection zone, a beam bunch merging zone, a first beam bunch bending zone, a beam bunch return zone, and a second beam bunch bending zone;
• an ion source provided at an end of the ion injection zone;
• two parallel magnet plates provided in each of the first and second beam bunch bending zones, configured to produce a respective magnetic field that bends a path of travel of an ion beam bunch within the enclosed racetrack;
• a plurality of loop coils configured to generate magnetic fields in one or more of the ion injection zone, the beam bunch merging zone, and the beam bunch return zone, to shape travel of ions within the enclosed racetrack such that ions from the ion source that are injected through the ion injection zone are merged in the beam bunch merging zone into an ion beam bunch within the enclosed racetrack, which ion beam bunch is redirected by the first beam bunch bending zones into the beam bunch return zone and then redirected by the second beam bunch bending zone back to the beam bunch merging zone;
• and
• a modulator connected to the ion source and/or at least some of the loop coils such that a radiating electromagnetic wave produced by the ion beam bunch carries a data signal in a very low frequency (VLF) spectrum of 3 kHz to 30 kHz or a low-frequency (LF) spectrum of 30 kHz to 300 kHz.
