21.  Using PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)  We output a fc=40, 56 or 455 kHz square wave of the IR light wave(950 nm = 316THz).  24 periods of 1/fc for a zero, 48 periods for a 1 and a 96 periods for a header.  Each pulse is separated by 24 periods of off time. From Vishay Documentation

22. This is an example of a what is actually propagated through the air. 5 periods of pulsed IR.

23.  TSOP sensor has built in demodulator. All we see at the processor is a PWM signal that represents a bit stream. Inverted signal From Vishay Documentation

24.  Example Signal from MilesTag website.  We are using this scheme scaled to our carrier frequencies.  At 455kHz we can fit in over ten times the data in the same time.
