Abstract
A system for communicating data over a transmission line is disclosed. In one example implementation, the system may include a transmitter configured to modulate a control signal onto an RF signal using amplitude-shift keying modulation to generate a transmit signal. The system may include a receiver and a transmission line coupling the transmitter to the receiver. The transmitter may be configured to transmit the transmit signal over the transmission line to the receiver, and the receiver may be configured to de-modulate the control signal and extract clock information associated with the transmitter. In some embodiments, the system may include a tuning circuit and a modal antenna, and the tuning circuit may be or include the receiver. The receiver may be configured to adjust a mode of the modal antenna based on the control signal transmitted by the transmitter.
