Geometric representation of signals can provide a compact characterization of signals and can simplify analysis of their performance as modulation signals. Orthonormal bases are essential in geometry. Let s 1 t s 2 t s M t be a set of signals. Define ψ 1 t s 1 t E 1 where E 1 t 0 T s 1 t 2 . Define s 21 s 2 ψ 1 t 0 T s 2 t ψ 1 t and ψ 2 t 1 E 2 ^ s 2 t s 21 ψ 1 where E 2 ^ t 0 T s 2 t s 21 ψ 1 t 2 In general ψ k t 1 E k ^ s k t j 1 k 1 s kj ψ j t where E k ^ t 0 T s k t j 1 k 1 s kj ψ j t 2 . The process continues until all of the M signals are exhausted. The results are N orthogonal signals with unit energy, ψ 1 t ψ 2 t ψ N t where N M . If the signals s 1 t s M t are linearly independent, then N M . The M signals can be represented as s m t n 1 N s mn ψ n t with m 1 2 M where s mn s m ψ n and E m n 1 N s mn 2 . The signals can be represented by s m s m1 s m2 s mN

Set of 4 equal energy biorthogonal signals. s 1 t s t , s 2 t s t , s 3 t s t , s 4 t s t . The orthonormal basis ψ 1 t s t E s , ψ 2 t s t E s where E s t 0 T s m t 2 s 1 E s 0 , s 2 0 E s , s 3 E s 0 , s 4 0 E s . The four signals can be geometrically represented using the 4-vector of projection coefficients s 1 , s 2 , s 3 , and s 4 as a set of constellation points.
