A novel method and apparatus encodes a data signal (e.g., before wireless transmission) such that the encoded signal has Gaussian statistics and the transmitted signal exhibits virtually no signal structure. This approach represents a significant improvement over previous attempts, as no synchronization between the encoder and decoder is required and the linearity of the transfer channel is preserved. Implementations of systems, methods, and apparatus according to embodiments of the invention are disclosed wherein the encoded signal has a flat power spectrum, wherein different codes are assigned to different users, wherein compensation for phase shifts is performed, and wherein the design and/or construction of the implementation may be accomplished using various digital filtering architectures.
