This illustration,
which was
created with the
assistance of
Klein Gilhousen,
co-inventor of
CDMA, shows
how bits are
encoded at the
base station and
decoded in the
cellphone.
A single bit

to take you
through the
Boolean math.

Second Generation(2G) Systems
Digital technology
Lower powered radio signals
Increased voice quality and capacity over 1G
systems
Voice and a limited data capacity
Security
The some popular 2G standards are:
* GSM (Global System for Mobile communications),
* D-AMPS (Digital AMPS)/IS-136,
* PDC (Personal Digital Cellular) and
* cdmaOne/IS-95.

Further interference
reduction by using

sectorized antennas.
Sectoring Improves C/I
This increases the
traffic capacity of
the base station
(each frequency can
carry eight voice
channels) whilst not
greatly increasing
the interference
caused to
neighboring cells (in
any given direction,
only a small number
of frequencies are
being broadcast).
