A method of data transmission according to one embodiment of the present invention includes encoding a set of data values to generate a corresponding series of ordered n-tuples. The method further includes transmitting a plurality of bursts (12), (13), (14) via a plurality of frequency bands (4), (5), (6) according to a series of ordered n-tuples. . Specifically, for each of a plurality of bursts, the frequency band occupied by the burst is indicated by the order in the n-tuple of the elements corresponding to the burst. At least one bandwidth of the plurality of bursts is at least 2 percent of the center frequency of the burst. Information is encoded into at least one additional modulation (such as polarity, amplitude, width, or polarization modulation) of the plurality of bursts. |
