Claim:
1. A method, comprising: receiving an at least one pulse-width-modulation bit and an at least one phase-modulation bit; based upon the at least one pulse-width-modulation bit, selecting between at least a first pulse width and a second pulse width to provide a selected pulse width; based upon the at least one phase-modulation bit, selecting between at least a rising edge alignment for the selected pulse width with a beginning of a symbol period and also a falling edge alignment for the selected pulse width with an end of the symbol period to provide a selected edge alignment; and transmitting a multi-modulation symbol within the symbol period according to the selected pulse width and the selected edge alignment, the multi-modulation symbol equaling a power supply voltage during the selected pulse width and equaling ground outside of the selected pulse width.
