Abstract
A system for multiplexing multiple independent signals includes a transmitter, interconnecting medium, and a receiver. The transmitter encodes a waveform with first and second pieces of information for transmission across the interconnecting medium. The receiver determines the first and second pieces of information using the duty cycle and frequency of the waveform.
Claims25
A method for communicating data in a waveform comprising:
- encoding a waveform comprising a first piece of information represented with a duty cycle of the waveform and a second piece of information represented with a frequency of the same waveform;
- transmitting the waveform, a first scaling value, and a second scaling value;
- receiving the waveform, the first scaling value, and the second scaling value;
- decoding the duty cycle of the received waveform with the first scaling value to determine the first piece of information;
- and
- calculating the frequency of the received waveform with the second scaling value to determine the second piece of information.
