Method and device for receiving or transmitting a signal with encoded data

A method of demodulating encoded data, comprising:

• receiving a signal, the received signal comprising data representative of a non-coherent waveform and a coherent waveform;
• responsive to the received signal, demodulating the data to reflect a position of a pulse of the waveform and a phase of the waveform;
• determining, responsive to the pulse and the phase, information represented by the data;
• and
• outputting an output signal representative of the information.

A communication device for transmitting data, comprising:

• a processor, the processor being configured to facilitate, responsive to receipt of a datum, first determining a position for a pulse in a waveform corresponding to the datum and second determining a phase for the pulse in the waveform corresponding to the datum;
• and responsive to the first determining and second determining, providing a data stream representative of the waveform having the pulse of the phase in the position to a transmitter;
• and
• a transmitter, responsive to receipt of the data stream, configured to transmit the signal.
