Solution Overview

Problem

Existing multiplexing techniques in wireless communication rely on sinusoidal-based signal modulation, which limits spectral efficiency and requires sinusoidal orthogonality, making them less efficient in handling high-degree polynomials and prone to coherent interference.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of spiral polynomial division multiplexing (SPDM) using orthogonal polynomial functions, such as Chebyshev or Cairns polynomials, which modulate amplitude rather than sinusoids, allowing for high spectral efficiency and robust synchronization without the need for sinusoidal orthogonality.

AI summary

Systems, devices, methods, and computer readable medium for transmitting data using polynomials and instantaneous spectral analysis. In and/or prior to the transmitter, a signal may be formed by fitting the data with a Taylor series polynomial, which is projected onto Cairns series functions. The Cairns series functions are converted into Cairns exponential functions, which are combined based on frequency information to produce the set of sinusoidals with continuously time-varying amplitude, each of the sinusoidals having a different frequency.
