Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to the transmission and reception of sets of very high frequency electromagnetic (EM) signals in ways that allow a sensing apparatus to discriminate between different sets of transmitted EM signals. Here a sensing apparatus may sequentially transmit different sets of EM signals. Each of these different sets of signals may include an encoded identifier that uniquely identifies each respective signal set of the different sets of signals. Each of these signal sets may include several pulses of a particular frequency with a same relative phase relationship followed by pulses that have a different phase relationship. These changes in phase may be used to encode the unique identifiers into the different sets of transmitted EM energy and these identifiers may be used by a sensing apparatus to associate specific received sets of EM energy with specific sets of transmitted EM energy.
