Theoretical Analysis of Telecommunication through 'Friktories'

摘要

The use of long distance communication links during the siege of Troy has been reported in historical times and in particular by Aeschylus in his tragedy Agamemnon. The analysis of the possibility of such long distance communication links using fire towers and relaying of information is examined using electromagnetic theory principles in this paper. Furthermore possible communication protocols employed in this type of communication network is reviewed taking into account similar systems used even today incorporating very low rate data transmission links.
