1. A method for improving the bandwidth efficiency of a continuous phase modulation signal comprised of plural symbols over a communication channel comprising the steps of:

  • coding an input data stream;

    modulating a carrier frequency with the coded input data stream as a constant envelope continuous phase modulation waveform; and

    converting the constant envelope continuous phase modulation waveform into a non-constant envelope continuous phase modulation waveform thereby improving the bandwidth of the signal,wherein the step of converting includes interpolation of a path between constellation points along a chord connecting successive constellation points.
