Abstract

An apparatus and a method for transmitting and receiving a signal having multiple tones for obviating destructive interference between a groundwave and a skywave of the signal. The multiple tones have a frequency offset that is calculated so that the destructive interference nulls for each of the tones occurs at different range distances from the transmitter thereby extending the distance over which at least one of the tones can be reliably received.
