Usually a coherence multiplexing system uses delay-filters at the transmitter and receiver to perform the code. An extension to other filter types is described. Using a continuous source the signal-to-beat noise ratio is proportional to the square of the inverse of the number of simultaneous users. A further extension is made by using a pulsed source and by replacing the filters by banks of filters. Each element of each filter bank also comprizes a unique delay. In that case the SNR can be made proportional to the inverse of the number of users, so that more users can be handled simultaneously. 1
