Abstract

See full text

A method for subsurface radio communication includes transmitting voice data through a subsurface environment, by a transmitter of a radio transceiver. The voice data is received through the subsurface environment, by a receiver of the radio transceiver. A transceiver frequency of the radio transceiver is changed to an optimal transceiver frequency in response to a change to the subsurface environment. The transceiver frequency is one of a transmit frequency of the transmitter and a receive frequency of the receiver. A first impedance of a subwavelength antenna is matched to a second impedance of the transceiver in response to a difference between the first impedance and the second impedance exceeding an impedance mismatch value. The subwavelength antenna has a radiating length less than a transceiver wavelength of the radio transceiver operating in free-space at a maximum of the transceiver frequency.
