RF Products for CDMA
Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) is essentially a spread spectrum
system which employs a set of "orthogonal" Walsh codes to distinguish
between users. As a result, this system provides better immunity to multi-user
interference than that provided by other wireless systems. CDMA employs
both Quaternary Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) and Offset QPSK (OQPSK) modulation
schemes, one for the down-link and the other for the up-link, respectively.
The channel spacing in CDMA systems is 1.25 MHz. Next generation CDMA
systems, known as Wide-band CDMA (W-CDMA) will employ wider bandwidths
in order to support high speed data transfer.
