    CDMA is " spread spectrum (频谱) " technology, which means that it spreads the information contained in a particular signal of interest over a much greater bandwidth (带宽) than the original signal.
When implemented (实现) in a cellular telephone system, CDMA offers numerous benefits to the cellular operators and their subscribers (订户). Following is an overview of CDMA benefits:
1. Improved call quality, with better and more consistent sound.
2. Simplified system planning through the use of the same frequency in every sector of every cell.

Attend the Next Forum!

We started offering programs in Sarasota in February in 1991 and our first Forum was held in 1992 as a small group meeting. Being from the Northern USA, this was a particularly good time to go south for the warmth of our friendship with Dr. Treffinger and Dr. Noller and to keep away from the cold winter.
The Forum is the only chance to learn about various topics of the creativity and innovation (革新)and from those who have rich experience and interest in the field. The theme of the 2005 Forum includes searching for a few new methods, sharing lessons from experience, and learning and exchange ideas on cutting-edge research.
