1. An apparatus for generating a constant envelope composite signal from a plurality of component signals, comprising:

  • a synthesizer configured to generated a carrier signal; and

    electronics configured to modulate the carrier signal utilizing a finite set of composite signal phases to combine three or more component signals, each having two or more possible phases to generate and maintain the constant envelope composite signal, the finite set of composite signal phases being determined through an optimization process that minimizes the constant envelope of the composite signal, subject to a plurality of intra-signal constraints for the component signals,wherein said optimization process includes optimization of an objective function of the constant envelope of the composite signal.
