Information on CDMA

CDMA is a multiple access technique in satellite communications in which each user of a satellite channel is given access to the entire channel all the time, with users separated by giving each a unique spreading code.
     Code division multiple access is commonly used in military satellite communications systems as a means of protecting against interception by eavesdroppers and jamming.
