Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016196291A1] Described are methods, apparatuses, and networks for propagating a wireless signal in an electromagnetically-attenuating ionic solution, e.g., suitable for high bandwidth undersea communications. For example, the method may include transmitting a signal into the electromagnetically-attenuating ionic solution by applying a time-varying excitation field to the electromagnetically-attenuating ionic solution. The signal may correspond to the time-varying excitation field. The time-varying excitation field may include one or more of: an electrical component and a magnetic component. The method may include receiving at least a portion of the signal from the electromagnetically-attenuating ionic solution. The signal may be wirelessly propagated in the electromagnetically-attenuating ionic solution.
