1. In combination, a first source for producing a first signal representative of intelligence to be transmitted from one point to another, second source for producing a binary carrier signal having a first voltage level and a second voltage level, means responsive to the first signal and to the binary carrier signal for frequency-modulating the carrier signal in accordance with the first signal to produce a modulated intelligence signal having first and second voltage levels and exhibiting transitions between the same, a third source for producing a binary encoding signl having first and second voltage levels and exhibiting transitions between such levels in conformance with an apparently random predetermined sequence of variations in the encoding signal between the first and second voltage levels at different multiples of a particular time interval, and circuit means coupled to said modulating means and to said third source for inverting the voltage level of the encoding signal from the first voltage level to the second voltage level and from the second voltage level to the first voltage level and upon the simultaneous occurrence of the second voltage level in the intelligence signal to produce an encoded intelligence signal.

Communication system

1. In combination: a signal source for producing a signal having characteristic variations representative of intelligence, a first code source for producing a first code signal having apparently random characteristic variations but actually having characteristic variations conforming to a first particular code sequence which repeats after a relatively short time interval, a second code source for producing a second code signal likewise having apparently random characteristic variations but actually having characteristic variations conforming to a second particular code sequence which may repeat after a relatively long time interval, modifying circuit means responsive to the intelligence signal from the signal source and to a coded signal for modifying the characteristics of the coded signal in accordance with the characteristics of the intelligence signal, and means responsive to the signals from the first code source and to the signals from the second code source for initially introducing the first code signal to the modifying means for modification of such signal in accordance with the characteristics of the intelligence signal and of the first code signal and for subsequently introducing the second code signal to the modifying means for modification of the second code signal in accordance with the characteristics of the intelligence signal.
