Basic of Wireless Communication - Part VI — Lesson 6

This lesson covers the fundamentals of wireless communication, focusing on multiple access techniques and their importance in RF transceiver design. It delves into the details of Time Division Duplexing (TDD), Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD), and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). The lesson also explains the concept of duplexing and how it is used to define transmission and reception at a local end. It further discusses the limitations of TDMA and FDMA, and the advantages of CDMA in accommodating more users. The lesson concludes with an overview of wireless standards and their role in RF front-end design.
