A wireless system is any collection of elements (or subsystems) that operate interdependently

and use unguided electromagnetic-wave propagation to perform some specified function(s).

In the abstract, an antenna may be thought of as any device that converts a guided signal,
such as a signal in an electrical circuit or transmission line, into an unguided signal
propagating in space, or vice versa.
A channel as the physical and electromagnetic environment surrounding and connecting the
endpoints of the transmission path that is, surrounding and connecting the systems
transmitter and receiver

Communication can be referred to as the exchange of information over a channel to a


receiver. For an exchange of message to occur, there has to be a medium. Due to the
advancement in technology, communicating has advanced from wired mediums to wireless
medium. Wireless communication can therefore be defined as the exchange of voice or data
through well-defined electromagnetic waves in open space.

Wireless communications make use of transmitters and antennas. Transmitters are devices
that converts messages into electronic signals. There are two types of transmitters. An
analogue transmitter sends electronic signals as modulated radio waves. The analogue
transmitter modulates the radio wave to carry the electronic signal and then sends the
modified radio signal through space. A digital transmitter encodes electronic signals by
converting messages into a binary code, the series of zeros and ones that are the basis of all
computer programming. The encoded electronic signal is then sent as a radio wave.

CDMA is a technology used in radio communication which enables several transmitters to


send information simultaneously over a single communication channel with the aid of spread
spectrum technology and a special coding scheme where each transmitter is assigned a code.
