Interesting, well written stuff. But does not appear to have been updated since
2000.

Back in the early days of this newsgroup (1997-2000) Steven Den Beste
was a handset engineer for Qualcomm and a frequent contributor.

Use groups.google.com's advanced search to search alt.cellular.sprintpcs
for his name in those years and you can enjoy more of his explanations
about how CDMA works.

He most likely moved on after Qualcomm sold off its handset division to
Kyocera, and became little more than a patent holding company who
happens to make chips on the side.

He retired and spent a lot of time blogging--originally on
technical and political topics: http://denbeste.nu/archives.shtml.
Although I often disagreed with his political positions, his logic
and writing was excellent.

He got burned out by all the flak he received, and turned to
writing about anime: http://denbeste.nu/archives.shtml.
