This means that it spreads the information contained in a particular signal over a much greater bandwidth than the original signal. When implemented in a cellular telephone system, CDMA technology offers numerous benefits to the cellular operators.
A digital cellular technology that uses spread-spectrum techniques. With CDMA, every channel uses the full available spectrum and individual conversations are encoded with a pseudorandom digital sequence or frequency-hopping schedule.
Code Division Multiple Access - a generic term for a type of digital mobile telephony technology which supports a number of mobile connections. This technique is used by some alternative systems to GSM. See also W-CDMA.
Code Division Multiple Access; also known as IS-95. This is one of the newer digital technologies in use in the US, Canada, Australia, and some southeastern Asian countries (e.g. Hong Kong and South Korea). CDMA differs from GSM and TDMA by its use of spread spectrum techniques for transmitting voice or data over the air. Rather than dividing the radio frequency spectrum into separate user channels by frequency slices or time slots, spread spectrum technology separates users by assigning them digital codes within the same broad spectrum. Advantages of CDMA include higher user capacity and immunity from interference by other signals. Used in either 800 MHz or 1900 MHz frequency bands.
Abbreviation for code-division multiple access. A coding scheme in which multiple channels are independently coded for transmission over a single wideband channel using an individual modulation scheme for each channel.
Code Division Multiple Access. Technology (by QualComm) for sharing a particular part of the radio spectrum for multiple users as efficient as possible. CDMA is a technique used for mobile phones and one of the competing technologies is TDMA. CDMA is widely used in for example Korea.
