Abstract
A multiplexer and a method for chip-synchronous code-division multiple access (CDMA) signals produces a constant envelope signal. The output signal of the multiplexer permits use of a saturating (Class C) high power amplifier (HPA) resulting in a net increase in effective transmitter power usage. This multiplexer applies to a variety of CDMA spread spectrum modulation formats and has many applications, such as the IS-95 forward link interface, and CDMA and CDMA/FDMA (frequency-division multiple access) applications, including general cellular base station forward traffic channels, cellular subscriber station multiple-channel reverse traffic channels (e.g. IS-95 subscriber Internet access) and satellite downlinks.
