  • Patent number: 10447340
    Abstract: In a direct sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) systems, such as CDMA, information is encoded in symbols using phase shift keying or quadrature amplitude modulation. Further, a transmitter applied a selected time shifted lag to each symbol to convey additional information. A receiver detects both the symbol data and the lag value. The receiver can use a hermetic matched filter matrix to identify the lag.
