Operating general purpose hardware as radio
First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- electrical or electronic circuitry;
one or more conductors including one or more wires or traces electrically coupled to the electrical or electronic circuitry;
processing circuitry electrically coupled to the one or more conductors and electrical or electronic circuitry, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to perform operations comprising;
identifying data to be transmitted by the one or more conductors; and
providing a signal to the electrical or electronic circuitry to cause the electrical or electronic circuitry to change state and produce a first signal on the one or more conductors; and
wherein the one or more conductors produce a forced non-linear emission (FNLE) that is a mixture of the first signal and an electromagnetic wave incident thereon that, when decoded by an external device, corresponds to the data.

Abstract
Embodiments includes an apparatus and method that intentionally illuminate a device with RF energy having specific characteristics (e.g., frequency, power, waveform, directionality, duration, etc.) to make a conductor of the device a transmitter. A method can include identifying data to be transmitted by the one or more conductors and providing a signal to the electrical or electronic circuitry to cause the electrical or electronic circuitry to change state and produce a first signal on the one or more conductors. The one or more conductors can produce a forced non-linear emission (FNLE) that is a mixture of the first signal and an electromagnetic wave incident thereon that, when decoded by an external device, corresponds to the data.
