Signal transmission via current modulation of power input

摘要

A system, method, and computer readable medium directed to communication with a remote component in an aircraft environment are described. The system includes the remote component in the aircraft environment to control a single phase alternating or direct current input drawn from a constant voltage power source, and a controller in the aircraft environment configured to monitor the current input to the remote component and determine a message from the remote component based on a current pattern in the current input.

1. A system to communicate with a remote component located in an aircraft environment, the system comprising:
the remote component disposed in the aircraft environment configured to control a single phase alternating or direct current input drawn from a constant voltage power source to generate a current pattern; and a controller disposed in the aircraft environment configured to monitor the current input to the remote component and determine a message from the remote component based on the current pattern in the current input and on a stored correspondence between the current pattern and the message, wherein the remote component controls a current demand to turn on and off in a specified pattern to generate the current pattern.
