3CDMA Overview
The first CDMA networks (now called CDMAone) were commercially launched in 1995, and provided
roughly 10 times more capacity than analog networks - far more than TDMA or GSM. Since then, CDMA
has become the fastest-growing of all wireless technologies. In addition to supporting more traffic,
CDMA brings many other benefits to carriers and consumers, including broader coverage and stronger
security.
Just as the second generation of wireless technology improved upon earlier systems, the industry looked
to a third generation of technology for more advances. Although wireless was used almost exclusively
for voice communication, the ability to deliver data over the air was also very promising, especially as
Internet users and content proliferated.
In 1999, the International Telecommunication Union adopted an industry standard for third-generation
(3G) wireless systems that can deliver high-speed data and other new features. Because CDMA2000 is
evolved directly from the previous generation of proven CDMA systems, it provides the fastest, easiest,
most cost-effective path to 3G services. While all 3G technologies (CDMA2000, WCDMA and TD-SCDMA)
may be viable, CDMA2000 is much further ahead in terms of product development, commercial
deployment and market acceptance.
The first commercial CDMA2000 networks were launched in South Korea in early 2001. A large and
growing range of CDMA2000 chipsets, terminals and network infrastructure systems are now in volume
production and gaining economies of scale, as many more North American, Latin American and
Japanese carriers plan to roll out CDMA2000 services in 2002 and 2003
CDMA2000 1X technology supports both voice and data services over a standard (1X) CDMA channel,
and provides many performance advantages over other technologies. First, it provides up to twice the
capacity of earlier CDMA systems, helping to accommodate the continuing growth of voice services as
well as new wireless Internet services. Second, it provides peak data rates of up to 153 kbps (and up to
307 kbps in the future), without sacrificing voice capacity for data capabilities. And because it's
backwards-compatible with earlier CDMA technology, CDMA2000 1X provides an easy and affordable
upgrade path for both carriers and consumers.
For more information about CDMA visit the CDMA Development Group (CDG) at http://cdg.org/ The
CDG is an industry consortium of companies who have come together to develop the products and
services necessary to lead the adoption of CDMA wireless systems around the world.

4GPS Overview
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide radio-navigation system operated by the US
Department of Defence (DoD) and formed from a constellation of 24 satellites orbiting at an altitude of
10,900 nautical miles and with an orbital period of 12 hours.
GPS uses these satellites as reference points to calculate positions accurate to a matter of metres. This
is achieved by measuring the time it takes for a radio signal to travel from each satellite to the receive
unit. Multiple measurements are then used to accurately triangulate the receiver location.
The signals received from the orbiting satellites are based on pseudo random codes. The code for each
satellite is unique so that the receiver can determine which satellite it is receiving from. Additionally,
these pseudo random codes are extremely complex in order to minimize the possibility of incorrectly
picking up another signal or background noise with the same code. The receiver is able to generate the
same pseudo random code for every satellite it is tracking. The difference in time between the locally
generated code and the code received from the satellite is used to calculate the distance from the
satellite to the receiver. The receiver keeps track of the exact location of every satellite by using an
almanac stored in its local memory. In this way the receiver is able to triangulate its location by
calculating the distance from at least three satellites. But this calculation assumes that the receiver
generates its pseudo random code starting at exactly the same time as the satellites, which would
require extremely accurate (and expensive) atomic clocks in every receiver! The receiver overcomes the
need for such an accurate clock by triangulating its position from at least four satellites instead of only
three. The additional satellite allows the receiver to calculate its own clock error and to apply this
correction to all calculated distances.
There are a number of error sources that can introduce inaccuracies into the position calculation.
Understanding these error sources can be helpful in applying the position information provided by the
GPS receiver.
Although the satellites are in extremely accurate orbits they can be influenced by solar “winds” of
cosmic radiation and also by gravitational forces from the sun and moon. These errors are called
"ephemeris” errors". The satellites position is regularly monitored by the US DoD and then passed to
the satellite for passing on to the receivers as part of the pseudo random code information. The
receiver is then able to account for these ephemeris errors. However, between these position
updates there may be a slight error in the calculated signal.
As a GPS signal passes through the charged particles of the ionosphere and then through the water
vapour in the troposphere it gets slowed down, and this creates a timing measurement error which
may be different for each satellite and so cannot be taken into account.
Close to the ground the signal may bounce off various local obstructions before it reaches the
receiver. This is called multipath error and is similar to the ghosting on a TV.
There are often more satellites available than a receiver needs to fix a position, so it will choose a
few and ignore the rest. If it chooses satellites that are close together in the sky the intersecting
circles that define a position will cross at very shallow angles. This increases the grey area or error
margin around a position. If it chooses satellites that are widely separated then the circles intersect
at almost right angles which minimizes the error region.

In general, all the above error sources combined may result in a position error of only a few metres
overall.
