Code Division Multiple Access

Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) is a communication technology that allows multiple users to share the same radio frequency band simultaneously. It achieves this by assigning each user a unique code, which spreads their signal across a broad frequency spectrum. Devices only pick out the signal with their specific code, effectively separating multiple conversations sharing the same space. This method enhances capacity, reduces interference, and improves security, making it efficient for mobile phone networks and other wireless communications. Think of it like multiple conversations happening at once, each with a distinctive code language that only the intended recipient can understand.
