Summary: 
A coordinate plane representation of the resource requirements of digital modulation methods is presented, and an overall resource efficiency measure is proposed. This measure can be used for the comparison of digital modulation methods and the evaluation of an emerging modulation technique. Several typical digital modulation methods are compared based on this measure to show its validity.
