Abstract: A magnetic communication system includes a transmitter have a single coil transducer, and a receiver having a three orthogonally oriented coil transducers. The signal processing circuitry in the receiver adjusts the phases of the signals received by the three transducers to produce signals which are in-phase. The signals are then summed to provide an output signal from the receiver. The processing circuitry adjusts the phases of the incoming signals either serially or in parallel. Transmissions from the receiver to the transmitter are also phase adjusted in accordance with the same adjustments used in reception.
