A signal with one mode or with three or more modes
The term "Discrete" uses to describe a signal with two modes, but is there a term to describe a signal with just one mode or with three or more modes?
Question update: Also, isn't a wave with just one mode named a carrier wave?

Wrong. Discrete means it can only take some values , not all values.
I suspect by 'modes' you mean # of possible outputs. If we have a system which outputs only have 1 possible output then what would be the point of that system?
Sure we can make a system which has 3 possible outputs , I think this kind of system already exists in spintronics where not only do we measure the charge state but also the spin state. So we can have 3 different states[no charge state,charge state/spin up,charge state/spin down]
Hope this helps.
