Multiplexed Duty Cycle Pulse Modulation and Applications Thereof

RPI ID: 2010-058-401

Innovation Summary:
This patented technology introduces a novel method for transmitting multiple data streams simultaneously using superimposed pulse modulation. Each data stream is encoded with a distinct pulse shape and transmitted over the same channel, enabling high-throughput communication without increasing bandwidth. The technique is particularly suited for optical and wireless systems where spectral efficiency is critical. It supports scalable, multi-channel data transmission and is compatible with existing communication infrastructure.

Challenges / Opportunities:
Modern communication systems face increasing demand for higher data capacity without expanding bandwidth. Traditional multiplexing techniques often require additional spectrum or complex hardware. This invention addresses these challenges by enabling efficient, high-speed data transmission through pulse shape diversity and superposition. It opens opportunities in next-generation networks, data centers, and satellite communications.

Key Benefits / Advantages:
✔ Increased data throughput without additional bandwidth
✔ Efficient use of spectral resources
✔ Compatible with existing communication systems
✔ Scalable for multiple data channels
✔ Applicable to both optical and wireless platforms

Applications:
• Optical fiber communications
• Wireless networks (5G/6G)
• Data center interconnects
• Satellite and space communications
