Abstract
A system for transmission of information using a curl-free magnetic vector potential radiation field. The system includes current-carrying apparatus for generating a magnetic vector potential field with a curl-free component coupled to apparatus for modulating the current applied to the field generating apparatus. Receiving apparatus includes a detector with observable properties that vary with the application of an applied curl-free magnetic vector potential field. Analyzing apparatus for determining the information content of modulation imposed on the curl-free vector potential field can be established in materials that are not capable of transmitting more common electromagnetic radiation.

A system for transmission of information comprising:
- field generating means responsive to an input signal modulated with said information for generating a magnetic vector potential radiation field having a curl-free component modulated with said information;
- and
- detector means for detecting said curl-free component of said magnetic vector potential radiation field, said detector producing a signal containing said information.
A system for transfer of information comprising:
- field generating means for generating a magnetic vector potential field having a curl-free component;
- modulation means coupled to said field generating means for modulating said magnetic vector potential field with said information;
- detection means for detecting said curl-free component of said generated vector potential field;
- and
- demodulation means coupled to said detector means for determining said information.
A method of transfer of information comprising the steps of:
- (a) generating a magnetic vector potential field having a substantial curl-free component, said substantial curl-free component modulated with said information;
- (b) detecting said substantial curl-free component of said vector potential field;
- and
- (c) extracting said information from said detected substantial curl-free vector potential field.
