A transmitter for Electric Field Communication (EFC) is provided. The transmitter includes a preamble code generator, a preamble symbol generator, and a transmission electrode. The preamble code generator masks each of at least two repetitive preamble codes so that information indicating broadcast information is included in the at least two repetitive preamble codes. The preamble symbol generator multiplies a spreading code to spread the masked at least two repetitive preamble codes and generate preamble symbols. The transmission electrode transmits the preamble symbols. Since additional information transferred based on the size of a correlation value of a preamble symbol is used, a broadcast frame can be retrieved even when all packets inside a superframe are not demodulated.
