If you investigate, I think you'll find that Hedy Lamar came up with the idea for CDMA & TDMA. She failed to take a patent on it and later sued to get rights recognized but lost and died penniless in Palm Springs.

ps: can't tell you how I know but CDMA & TDMA was also being worked on for secure military communications back in the 60's.

Could this be case of non-financial corporate baloney.

Aren't you confusing CDMA with spread-spectrum/ultrawideband? CDMA is one of the two possible modulation architectures for spread spectrum, but the terms are not properly synonymous. I believe Mrs. Lamar invented spread spectrum, but not CDMA.
