Abstract
The present invention is directed to a communication system wherein bone conducted ultrasonic signals are used as carriers to efficiently produce high fidelity, wide audio bandwidth sound. Exemplary embodiments rely on the use of modulation techniques which can achieve high fidelity audible sound, such as carrier plus single sideband (SSB) modulation. Known non-linearities within the ear itself can be exploited to demodulate the modulated ultrasonic carrier without producing audible sounds at the input to the user's ear. The non-linearities of the ear itself, in conjunction with the human brain's perception of audible frequencies generated in response to modulated ultrasonic stimulation, are relied upon to detect audio information.
