Frequency Division Multiple Access
FDMA (frequency division multiple access) is the division of the frequency band allocated for wireless cellular communication into 30 channels, each of which can carry a voice conversation or, with digital service, carry digital data. FDMA is a basic technology in the analog Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS), the most widely-installed cellular phone system installed in North America. With FDMA, each channel can be assigned to only one user at a time. FDMA is also used in the Total Access Communication System (TACS).
The Digital-Advanced Mobile Phone Service (D-AMPS) also uses FDMA but adds time division multiple access (TDMA) to get three channels for each FDMA channel, tripling the number of calls that can be handled on a channel.
Frequency division multiple access (FDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), and code division multiple access (CDMA) are the three major access techniques used to share the available bandwidth in a wireless communication system. These techniques can be grouped as narrowband and wideband systems, depending upon how the available bandwidth is allocated to the users. The duplexing technique of a multiple access system is usually described along with the particular multiple access scheme, as shown in the examples that follow.
Narrowband Systems — the term narrowband is used to relate the bandwidth of a single channel to the expected coherence bandwidth of the channel. In a narrowband multiple access system, the available radio spectrum is divided into a large number of narrowband channels. The channels are usually operated using FDD. To minimize interference between forward and reverse links on each channel, the frequency separation is made as great as possible within the frequency spectrum, while still allowing inexpensive duplexers and a common transceiver antenna to be used in each subscriber
