Code Division Multiple Access

CDMA is a channel access method used in radio communication technologies that allows multiple signals to occupy the same transmission channel. It uses spread spectrum technology where the transmitted signal frequency is varied according to a defined code pattern that can only be received by another device using the same code. This makes cloning difficult and enhances privacy. CDMA networks employ soft handoff to minimize signal disruption when passing between cells. It supports more signals per bandwidth than analog and allows roaming between compatible cellular networks.

Code division multiple access (CDMA) is a channel access method used by various radio communication technologies.

It should not be confused with the mobile phone standards called cdmaOne, CDMA2000 (the3G evolution of cdmaOne) and WCDMA (the 3G standard used by GSM carriers), which are often referred to as simply CDMA, and use CDMA as an underlying channel access method.CDMA (Code-Division Multiple Access) refers to any of several protocols used in so-called second-generation (2G) and third-generation (3G) wireless communications. As the term implies, CDMA is a form of multiplexing, which allows numerous signals to occupy a single transmission channel, optimizing the use of available bandwidth. The technology is used in ultra-high-frequency (UHF) cellular telephone systems in the 800-MHz and 1.9-GHz bands. conversion (ADC) in combination with spread spectrumtechnology. Audio input is first digitized into binary elements. The frequency of the transmitted signal is then made to vary according to a defined pattern (code), so it can be intercepted only by a receiver whose frequency response is programmed with the same code, so it follows exactly along with the transmitter frequency. There are trillions of possible frequencysequencing codes, which enhances privacy and makes cloning difficult. The CDMA channel is nominally 1.23 MHz wide. CDMA networks use a scheme called soft handoff, which minimizes signal breakup as a handset passes from one cell to another. The combination of digital and spreadspectrum modes supports several times as many signals per unit bandwidth as analog modes. CDMA is compatible with other cellular technologies; this allows for nationwide roaming. The original CDMA standard, also known as CDMA One and still common in cellular telephones in the U.S., offers a transmission speed of only up to 14.4 Kbps in its single channel form and up to 115 Kbps in an eightchannel form. CDMA2000 and Wideband CDMA deliver data many times faster.
