Abstract :
Bandwidth is the most important parameter of a code division multiple access (CDMA) system. It is governed by the system chip rate and affects capacity, fade margin, data rate, voice quality, performance in indoor and outdoor environments, transition plan, frequency management, overlay capability, and adaptive power control. The author discusses how each of these parameters is affected by the choice of bandwidth. A comparison is made between the capacity of a B-CDMA system in the cellular and PCS bands
