Actually, they don't hold a patent for the use of DSSS for the purposes of model use. In a nutshell, the patent is for the use of a spread spectrum modulated digital rf link to send signals to at least two receivers. The transmitter is capable of sending out at least two signals and each receiver is capable of receiving a single signal. So, anybody can make a DSSS RC system, FHSS RC system or a hybrid system.

What is claimed is:

1. A radio control system for controlling a radio controlled device; comprising: a controller, said controller including a transmitter module; and a radio controlled device, said radio controlled device including at least one motor to allow movement of said radio controlled device and a receiver module, wherein a control instruction regarding operation of said at least one motor from said controller is sent via a spread spectrum modulated digital radio frequency link; said transmitter module of said controller being suitable for transmitting at least two discrete signals via a spread spectrum modulated digital radio link and said receiver module including at least two receivers whereby each receiver of said at least two receivers receives a signal of said spread spectrum digital link.

2. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said transmitter module is suitable for transmitting different frequency signals for said at least two discrete signals of said spread spectrum modulated digital radio link.

3. The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said transmitter module is suitable for transmitting at least two discrete signals of said spread spectrum modulated digital radio link via at least two transmission diversity techniques.

4. The system as claimed in claim 3, wherein said at least two transmission diversity techniques include frequency diversity, path diversity and time diversity.


5. The system as claimed in claim 3, wherein said at least two transmission diversity techniques include antenna diversity and polarization diversity.
