Claim:
1. A method for modulation of a signal with first binary data, wherein the first binary data include a sequence of first binary numbers, wherein each first binary number comprises either a first binary numerical value or a second binary numerical value, and wherein the method comprises: generating ternary data that includes a sequence of ternary numbers, wherein each ternary number comprises a first, second, or third ternary numerical value, and modulating a phase of the signal with the ternary data, wherein the phase of the signal can assume M different phase states, where M>2, and wherein the first, second, and third ternary numerical values correspond to first, second, and third state transitions between the M phase states, wherein in the first state transition, a phase state is maintained, and the second state transition and third state transition produce a change in the phase state, wherein generating ternary data comprises generated the ternary data such that:
