This library is written in java under BSD 3 license.

Signal processing use method Sysel and Rajmic:Goertzel algorithm generalized to non-integer multiples of fundamental frequency. EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing 2012 2012:56.

How it works ?

The data transmission method is similar to the first Internet modems except that it is adapted to the disturbances caused by acoustic propagation.

Here a spectrogram of a sequence:

Top source signal, bottom recorded audio in real situation

QRTone contain a forward correction code in order to reconstruct loss tones.

The reference library jqrtone is full native java and can be included in android app with Api 14+ (Android 4.0.2),it does not require dependencies, the jar size is only 40 kbytes !

cqrtone is a rewrite using C99 language.
