Spread spectrum multiple access communication using satellite or terrestrial repeaters

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Abstract of the Disclosure, A multiple access spread spectrum communication system, and method for providing high capacity communications to from, or between a plurality of system users using code-division-, spread-spectrum communication signals. The communication system uses means for providing marginal isolation between user communication signals. The marginal isolation is provided by generating simultaneous multiple steerable beams; using an omni-directional antenna with polarization enhancement; using power control devices to adjust the output power for user generated communication signals either in response to their input activity level or in accordance with a minimum allowable power …
