Constructive interference - Interference that occurs when waves occupying the same space combine to form a single stronger wave. The strength of the composite wave depends on the how close in phase the two component waves are. For example if you transmitted two waves of the same phase, each with an amplitude of 10, they would combine into a composite wave of amplitude 20, but two waves slightly out of phase would combine into a composite wave of amplitude less than 20.
Control Channel - A unique RF channel used by each base station dedicated for the transmission of digital control information from the base station to the mobile unit. Used to assign voice channels, control mobile power, authorize handoffs, etc.
Correlator - The receiver component that demodulates a spread spectrum signal; a device that measures the similarity of of an incoming signal and a stored reference code.
COTS - Commercial Off The Shelf.
Cross-correlation - A measure of the similarity of two different signals.
CT2 - Cordless Telephone 2.
CTIA - Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association.
