An exemplary embodiment of the present invention proposes a transmitter including a hierarchical modulator. The hierarchical modulator receives, jointed encodes, and maps a high-priority and low-priority bit-stream signals, so as to generate multiple mapping signal, wherein each mapping signal is the summation of a low-priority and high-priority mapping signals. The low-priority mapping signal is the complex number signal on the frequency domain to which part bits of the low-priority bit-stream signal are mapped, and the high-priority mapping signal is the complex number signal on the frequency domain to which part bits of the high-priority bit-stream signal are mapped. The pth low-priority mapping signal is related to (p+1)th low-priority mapping signal, and p is an even number or an odd number.
