<p>An audio signal (31) is divided into a plurality of bands (32, 33, 34, 35, 36) prior to generating a shadow. The shadow is created by delaying the portion of the audio signal in at least one band by less than fifty milliseconds and combining the shadow signal with the portion of the audio signal. The portions, with any shadows, are combined (38) to produce a reconstructed audio signal. The presence or absence of a shadow signal represents data or the data is represented by two or more shadow signals, in one or more bands. The period of delay of a portion in a band should not equal the period of the center frequency of that band. Preferably, the period of delay of a portion in a band does not equal the period of any freqency within the pass band.</p> |
