Abstract
Disclosed is a method for transmitting a low-frequency signal over a data transmission link using a digital high bit-rate signal including the steps of creating a modulated digital high bit-rate signal the average power of which varies according to the low-frequency signal, supplying the modulated digital high bit-rate signal to a first end of the data transmission link, receiving the modulated digital high bit-rate signal at a second end of the data transmission link or at an intermediate node of the data transmission link, and detecting the low-frequency signal by low-pass filtering the received modulated digital high bit-rate signal. According to the invention, the variation of the average power of the modulated digital high bit-rate signal is effected by a variation of the density of 'high' bits according to the low-frequency signal.
