  • Patent number: 6313782
    Abstract: A coded phase modulation communications system which relates to communications systems in which undesired detectability of the radiated signal is materially reduced, and wherein the vulnerability of the system to interfering signals, such as, intentional jamming signals, is substantially reduced. In the system, a radio frequency communications signal is phase modulated by a random or random appearing, but repeatable pattern of noise signal. The received signal is modulated by an identical noise signal, which when synchronized with the original noise modulation results in erasing the noise, and thereby recreating the original, continuous, communications signal. The noise source of the system is a pseudo noise generator that may be readily synchronized with an identical noise source or sources. The pseudo noise generator provides an apparently orderless noise-like sequence that may be exactly reproduced at the same or at a remote location or locations.
