In one embodiment, the actuator signal generator 1876 generates the actuator signals 1818 by modulating the frequency components using the amplitude of each frequency band 1846. For example, the actuator signal generator 1876 may increase or decrease the instantaneous frequency of the broadband carrier signals 1828 proportional to the amplitude of each frequency band 1846. The broadband carrier signals 1828 are altered such that the frequency of the broadband carrier signals 1828 varies in line with the variations in amplitude of each frequency band 1846. When parameters of the sensor signals 1806 are encoded into the broadband carrier signals 1828 to generate the actuator signals 1818, the actuator signals 1818 increase and decrease in frequency proportional to amplitude of each frequency band 1846. In this way, the frequencies of the broadband carrier signals 1828 carry the features of the sensor signals 1806. The altered broadband carrier signals 1828 are transmitted as actuator signals 1818 to the cutaneous actuators 1822.
