CDMA Smart Antenna Solutions Deliver Innovative Voice and Data Capabilities to Wireless Subscribers.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers COSTA MESA Costa Mesa (kŏs`tə mā`sə), city (1990 pop. 96,357), Orange co., S Calif., on the Pacific south of Santa Ana; inc. 1953. It is a transportation, residential, and light industrial center. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 10, 2001 CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) A method for transmitting simultaneous signals over a shared portion of the spectrum. The foremost application of CDMA is the digital cellular phone technology from QUALCOMM that operates in the 800 MHz band and 1.9 GHz PCS band. Development Group Releases Smart Antenna Smart antenna (also known as adaptive array antennas, multiple antennas and recently MIMO) refers to a system of antenna arrays with smart signal processing algorithms that are used to identify spatial signal signature such as the direction of arrival (DOA) of the signal, and use Reference Document Available at www.cdg.org See .org. (networking) org - The top-level domain for organisations or individuals that don't fit any other top-level domain (national, com, edu, or gov). Though many have .org domains, it was never intended to be limited to non-profit organisations. RFC 1591. The CDMA Development Group (CDG) (www.cdg.org) today released a reference document to drive the development and availability of smart antenna systems for cdmaOne(TM) and CDMA2000 systems. The enhanced capabilities provided by smart antenna solutions will allow CDMA operators to provide innovative new data and voice services to their subscribers. Smart antenna solutions presented in the document capitalize on Cap´i`tal`ize on` v. t. 1. To turn (an opportunity) to one's advantage; to take advantage of (a situation); to profit from; as, to capitalize on an opponent's mistakes s>. different aspects of CDMA technology, such as active antennas, fixed beam forming and adaptive beam forming techniques, to improve spectral efficiency Spectral efficiency or spectrum efficiency refers to the amount of information that can be transmitted over a given bandwidth in a specific digital communication system. and to deliver significant improvements in coverage, quality of service and capacity. "The CDG is continuing to drive innovation in the wireless industry," said Perry LaForge, executive director of the CDG. "The information contained in this document will enable CDMA technology to better meet the evolving needs of operators and ensure that CDMA will continue to be the leading wireless technology." This is the first industry-wide effort to define the universal CDMA operator need for smart antenna technology, and is a part of the CDG's initiative to define the future of wireless technology. This reference document provides the service description, user requirements and system capabilities for smart antenna technology in the CDMA family of technologies, and is available on the CDG Web site at www.cdg.org. The CDG is committed to working with the industry to define coverage and capacity enhancing technologies to help CDMA operators maximize their networks. A technology forum was held in April, during which smart antennas were one of the topics addressed, and a live, interactive webcast on this topic will air on July 26, 2001. ArrayComm and Metawave Communications will take part in this event, part of the CDG Digevent Technical Series, which will further explore the capabilities and solutions offered by smart antenna technologies.
