The signal transmitting method includes that a transmit end modulates a first frequency band that corresponds to a first signal to be transmitted by the single carrier system onto a second frequency band that corresponds to a second signal to be transmitted by the multicarrier system, to obtain a transmit signal including at least the first signal and/or the second signal. A spacing between a center frequency of a first subchannel and a center frequency of a second subchannel is an integer multiple of a spacing between two adjacent second subchannels. A signal bandwidth that corresponds to the first subchannel is less than or equal to a signal bandwidth that corresponds to the second subchannel. The method includes transmitting the transmit signal to a receive end for completing reception of the first signal and the second signal.
