In another of these aged patents, the biggie as some have been jumping up and down about, we read in the 'claims' section, which speaks to the (then inspired) form of modulation technique employed:

(Late 20th Century}

In a communication system in which a digital signal is modulated into a conventional staggered QPSK (SQPSK) formatted signal and said SQPSK signal has associated undesired amplitude variations, a modulation and amplification method comprising the steps of:

modulating said digital signal to generate an intermediate modulated signal having less amplitude variations than said conventional SQPSK formatted signal; and

amplifying said intermediate modulated signal with a saturating non-linear amplifier to generate said conventional SQPSK formatted signal

The method as described in claim 1 wherein said intermediate modulated signal is a SQR-SQPSK [a passband modulation technique] formatted signal.

The method as described in claim 2 wherein said SQR-SQPSK [a passband modulation technique] formatted signal is amplified....

From a list of Key features of Wimax

(21st Century)

5. Higher capacity : advantage of wimax is the use of Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) [a passband modulation technique] over CDMA which is used in older technologies like Edge, GPRS, and HSPA. OFDM delivers higher spectral efficiency and therefore higher data rate and overall system capacity.


I wonder if while shopping for a stinky pinky, Val got sucked in... or bagged... or maybe HOSED!!!
