This report is A review and comparison of two important Digital Communication methods: 1. CDMA & 2. OFDM The OFDM system scheme is an intriguing and interesting way in mobile communications. Here It’s used to accomplish a high spectral efficiency and to control the frequency selectivity of each channel. CDMA is different where its allows the user/subscribers to use both frequency and time at the one time. OFDM Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is used to reduce interference and crosstalk. It’s essentially a procedure of digital signal modulation where a single data stream is shared across a few separate narrowband channels at different frequencies. It’s a combination of modulation and multiplexing, where multiplexing basically …show more content…

They’re widely used for fixed applications but also mobile applications. Taking a look at the advantages disadvantages of CDMA & OFDM if very necessary when it comes to choosing between which system to use. It’s tough to distinguish and separate them but that’s why comparing them is a great way of picking the correct system. Even though many systems nowadays are moving more towards OFDM system solution rather than the CDMA system. Below are a few advantages and disadvantages of CDMA & OFDM. Both have good advantages as can be seen below but OFDM seems to be the way to go. It’s becoming much easier to generate and demodulate OFDM signals these days due to the increase in processing power. These days increasing bandwidths are becoming more and more necessary and OFDM can provide this due to it being easy to …show more content…

This improves the quality of a call • All users/subscribers on the CDMA system use the same radio frequency spectrum. • The walsh codes provided provides privacy • Talk time and battery size of phones are increases due to Accurate power control • No guard time or equalizers needed Disadvantages of CDMA • Backwards compatibility techniques are costly • Base station equipment is very expensive • Low traffic areas lead to inefficient use of spectrum and equipment resources • Time synchronisation is
