Abstract

A system for transmitting electrical signals through a terrestrial body, the terrestrial body having an upper surface, may include a transmitter. The transmitter may include a first electrode positioned proximate the upper surface of the terrestrial body and at least one second electrode positioned beneath the upper surface of the terrestrial body and spaced from the first electrode. The system may include a power source operable to supply power to the first electrode and the at least one second electrode. The system may include a receiver assembly spaced away from the transmitter. When power is supplied to the transmitter, the transmitter may be operable to propagate an electric non-linear wave signal through the terrestrial body. The receiver assembly may be operable to detect the electric non-linear wave signal.
