Abstract
A frequency modulation method is proposed that enables an imprinting of a digital message formed by a sequence of symbols on a set of frequency bands. Each symbol of the digital message is hereby assigned just one symbol value out of a defined set of symbol values. According to the method at least two symbol transmission channels are defined with each symbol transmission channel being formed by a sub-set of frequency bands selected from the set of frequency bands and with each frequency band of a symbol transmission channel being allocated to a symbol value of the set of symbol values in a one-to-one relation such, that the symbol transmission channels defined differ from each other in at least one frequency band selected and/or in an allocation of a frequency band to a symbol value. Further, each of the defined symbol transmission channels is successively modulated with a single symbol value of the digital message according to the channel allocation scheme of the respective symbol transmission channel.
