(54) INFORMATION TRANSMISSION SYSTEM, TRANSMITTER, RECEIVER, AND INFORMATION TRANSMISSION METHOD


(57) An information transmission system of the present invention transmits information by using a mud pulse pressure signal to transmit information between a transmitter located in an excavation part of an underground excavator and a receiver located on the ground. The transmitter comprises a transmission information acquisition part for acquiring information, and a pressure pulse generation part. The pressure pulse generation part generates a pressure pulse so that an interval between the pressure pulse and a just preceding or just subsequent pressure pulse is an interval corresponding to the information acquired by the transmission information acquisition part. The receiver comprises a pressure pulse detection part for detecting a pressure pulse, and a reception information output part. The reception information output part outputs information corresponding to the interval between the detected pressure pulse and a just preceding or just subsequent pressure pulse.
