Abstract

A local station and a remote station are connected by a single pair of conductors. The local station communicates with the remote station by modulating a power supply within the local station which provides power on the conductor pair for operating the remote station. The remote station modulates its impedance, causing a change in current flow on the conductor pair which the local station can detect. In this way both stations can transmit data to each other at the same time and while the local station is providing operating power to the remote station.
