Conference Proceeding
Ma, S., Wilkinson, A. J., & Paulson, K. S. (2010). A phase modulation-based ultrasonic communication system using Variable Structure Control. . https://doi.org/10.1109/icct.2010.5688708

Narrow bandwidth transducers used in existing ultrasonic data communication systems are known to be devices with a high Q resonant response and low coupling to both the electrical drive and acoustic output interfaces. These features limit the speed o... Read More about A phase modulation-based ultrasonic communication system using Variable Structure Control.
