Abstract
A method for encoding signals using frequency sweeps in a downhole environment, in some embodiments, comprises: obtaining a digital signal; encoding the digital signal using one or more frequency sweeps to produce an encoded signal; transmitting the encoded signal from a transmitter to a receiver, at least one of the transmitter or receiver disposed downhole; receiving the encoded signal at the receiver; and decoding the encoded signal at the receiver to produce a decoded digital signal.
