Abstract

A communication circuit carries at least one signal including synchronizing intervals by which output of the signal by first apparatus coupled to the communication circuit is to be synchronized. A communication method includes selecting and modulating at least a portion of the duration of at least some of the synchronizing intervals. A modulator is provided for selecting and modulating at least a portion of the duration of at least some of the synchronizing intervals. Another communication circuit carries at least a first signal including frequencies in at least a first frequency band. A method of determining whether the first signal is escaping from the circuit includes transporting along the circuit apparatus adapted for receiving the first signal, detecting whether a received signal includes frequencies in the first frequency band, and producing an indication that the received signal includes frequencies in the first frequency band. A detector is provided for transporting along the circuit for determining whether the first signal is escaping from the circuit. The detector is adapted for receiving the first signal, detecting whether a received signal includes frequencies in the f…
