Abstract: La présente invention concerne un fonctionnement multimode vrai permettant une commutation de mode à la volée, en temps réel. Des techniques d'accélération et de décélération sont mises en oeuvre afin de décélérer complètement un signal de communication, puis de l'accélérer de nouveau dans une période de garde, tout en passant d'un mode à un autre de façon que des déformations des signaux ne se produisent que lorsque le signal est décéléré et peuvent ainsi être rendues négligeables. Un autre aspect de cette invention concerne une plate-forme de communication multimode avantageuse qui présente une architecture de modulation polaire. Cette plate-forme est de préférence basée sur un processeur de signaux de communication multimode, principalement numérique et à puce unique. Une boucle numérique verrouillée en fréquence à stabilité de phase permet un fonctionnement polyvalent à faible puissance.
