A method and modem for communicating serial input data over a transmission link. Serial input data is partitioned into parallel data elements prior to rotation by an invertible linear mapping. Resulting frames of parallel signal elements sequentially modulate a carrier, which is then transmitted over the link. After receipt of the modulated carrier from the link, the signal is demodulated and assembled into frames of parallel signal elements which are derotated by an inverse linear mapping. Thresholding the result of the inverse mapping recovers the parallel data elements, which are then re-assembled into serial output data. The linear mapping employs: 1) commuting rotation matrices for convolutionally rotating data vectors into signal vectors and vice-versa; 2) filter bank polyphase rotation matrices; or 3) computationally efficient multi-rate wavelet filter banks. Transmitter pre-emphasis places most of the information in lower baseband frequencies; complimentary de-emphasis occurs in the receiver. Logarithmic amplification of the baseband signal prior to carrier modulation improves modulation gain and transmit channel noise attenuation. Coefficients of the rotation matrix of the receiver are adaptively equalized to correct for transmission path distortion. FM double-side band is employed in systems requiring minimized cost and complexity. FM single-side band is employed in systems in which bandwidth reduction is desirable. AM is also employable.
