A method for receiving a modulated signal, includes the steps of receiving a signal modulated by a pulse position modulation (PPM) or a pulse width modulation (PWM) or a pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) or an on-off keying (OOK) amplitude modulation, corresponding to the transmission of a sequence of one or more consecutive digital symbols, squaring the received signal, projecting the square of the received signal onto multiple components of an analogue signal basis in order to obtain an analogue vector of dimension equal to the number of projection components, the components of the analogue signal basis being non-constant functions, digitizing the analogue vector into a digital vector, jointly demodulating the components of the digital vector by way of a maximum likelihood algorithm in order to estimate the transmitted sequence of one or more consecutive digital symbols.
