Advantages of spread spectrum
SPread spectrum has the following
advantages :
1. No crosstalk interference.
2. Better voice quality/data integrity and less
static noise.
3. Lowered susceptibility to multipath fading.
4. Inherent security.
5. Co-existence.
6. Longer operating distances.
7. Hard to detect.
8. Hard to intercept or demodulate.
9. Harder to jam than narrow bands.

Tell me about yourself-best answers
1. “I can summarize who I am in
three words.” Grabs their attention
immediately. Demonstrates your
ability to be concise, creative and
compelling.
2. “The quotation I live my life by
is…” Proves that personal
development is an essential part of
your growth plan. Also shows your
ability to motivate yourself.
3. “My personal philosophy is…”
Companies hire athletes – not
shortstops. This line indicates your
position as a thinker, not just an
employee.
4. “People who know me best say
that I’m…” This response offers
insight into your own level of self-
awareness.
5. “Well, I googled myself this
morning, and here’s what I
found…” Tech-savvy, fun, cool
people would say this. Unexpected
and memorable.
6. “My passion is…” People don’t
care what you do – people care
who you are. And what you’re
passionate about is who you are.
Plus, passion unearths
enthusiasm.
7. “When I was seven years old, I
always wanted to be…” An answer
like this shows that you’ve been
preparing for this job your whole
life, not just the night before.
8. “If Hollywood made a move about
my life, it would be called…”
Engaging, interesting and
entertaining.
9. “Can I show you, instead of tell
you?” Then, pull something out of
your pocket that represents who
you are. Who could resist this
answer? Who could forget this
answer?
10. “The compliment people give me
most frequently is…” Almost like a
testimonial, this response also
indicates self-awareness and
openness to feedback.

Advantages Of CDMA
Advantages of CDMa are as follows :
1. Frequency diversity : Transmission is spread out over a large bandwidth due to that less affected by noise. If bandwidth is increased S/N ratio increases, which means noise will be reduced.
2. Multiplication Resistance : Chipping codesused for CDMA not only exhibit low correlationbut also low autocorrelation. Hence a version
of the signal that is delayed by more than onechip interval does not interfere with dominant signal as in other multipath environments.
3. Privacy : Due to spread spectrum is obtained by the use of noise like signals, where each user has a unique code, so privacy is inherent.
4. Graceful Degradation. In CDMA, more users access the system simultaneously as compared to FDMa, TDMA.
Define Electronics
AC
Alternating current. Consists of a periodic oscillation between two different voltages. Usually said to look like a sine wave, but is not always.
AM
Amplitude modulation. In radio
communications, a signal controls the amplitude of a carrier wave that is at a much higher, constant frequency. The carrier wave is filtered out and a loudspeaker plays
based on the amplitude of the signal.
Ampere (A)
The SI unit for current I. (Commonly spoken as "amps", "milliamps", etc.) The ampere is officially defined as that constant current which, if maintained in two straight parallel
conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross-section, and placed one meter apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2×10 -7
newton per meter of length. There is another definition which is based on the deposition rate of silver ( in electrolysis? ), which is much easier to measure. The other electronics units are derived units based on
the ampere definition.
Amplify
To increase the strength of the signal. Often an "amplifier" is used to pass a signal with both an increase or a decrease in gain.
Anode
An electron collector. Means up the path from a negative to a positive voltage. An anode has a more positive voltage relative to a cathode.
Attenuate
Decrease the strength of a signal.
Band-Pass Filter
An analog filter that absorbs low and high frequencies (f ) but allows a band of frequencies in the middle to pass through.
BJT
Bi-polar junction transistor. A transistor in which the resistance of the channel is controlled by a current at the gate. Can be thought of as a current-controlled resistor.
FET is the other major type of transistor.
Capacitor
An electronics component that stores energy in the form of electric charge (static electricity). It resists a sudden change in voltage.
Cathode
An electron emitter. A cathode has a more negative voltage relative to some other place.
GPRS
GPRS services are defined to fall in one of the
two categories :
- PTP ( Point to point)
- PTM ( Point to Multipoint)
Some of the GPRS services are not likely to be provided by network operators during early deployment of GPRS due in part to the phased
development of standard. Market demand is another factor affecting the decision of operators regarding which services to offer first.
Handover??
What is handover and what are its types?
Handover in mobile communication refers to
the process of transferring a call from one
network cell to another without breaking the
call.
There are two types of handover which are as
follows :
Hard Handoff : hard handoff is the process in
which the cell connection is disconnected from
the previous cell before it is made with the
new one.
Soft Handoff : It is the process in which a new
connection is established first before
disconnecting the old one. It is thus more
efficient and smart.
What is ionospheric bending?
When a radio wave travels into the
ionospheric layer it experiences refraction due
to difference in density. The density of
ionospheric layer is rarer than the layer below
which causes the radio wave to be bent away
from the normal. Also the radio wave
experiences a force from the ions in the
ionospheric layer. If incident at the correct
angle the radio wave is completely reflected
back to the inner atmosphere due to total
internal reflection. This phenomenon is called
ionospheric reflection and is used in mobile
communication for radio wave propagation
also known as ionospheric bending of radio
waves.
Frequency Reuse
The whole of the geographical area is divided into hexagonal shape geometrical area called
cell and each cell having its own transceiver. Each BTS (cell site) allocated different band of
frequency or different channel. Each BTS antenna is designed in such a way that i cover cell area in which it is placed with frequency
allotted without interfering other cell signals. The design process of selecting and allocating
channel groups for all of the cellular base station within system is called frequency reuse.
CDMA
What is CDMA?
CDMA stands for Code Division Multiple Access which uses digital format. In CDMA systems several transmissions via the radio
interface take place simultaneously on the same frequency bandwidth. User data is combined at the transmitter’s side with a
code, then transmitted. On air, all
transmission get mixed. At the receiver's side the same code is used as in the transmitter’s side. The code helps the receiver to filter the
user information of the transmitter from incoming mixture of all transmissions on the
same frequency band and same time.
What about ECE
Modern society relies heavily on
communicating information through mobile
phones, TVs, radios, telecommunications and
wireless networks. Electronic and
communication engineers are a crucial part of
meeting this demand.
We will learn fundamental electronic
engineering along with specialist
communications topics such as optical and
radio-frequency engineering, digital signal
processing, network protocols/technologies
and the design and optimisation of networks.
Students study a very wide range of real world
communication systems, including fibre-optic
communications, cellular mobile systems such
as UMTS (3G) and LTE (4G), digital terrestrial
and satellite broadcast systems (e.g. DAB,
Freeview and Sky) and a range of wired and
wireless internet technologies such as WiFi,
Ethernet, ADSL and WiMAX.
Anything left add your comments below...........
WIFI
Wi-Fi is the name of a popular wireless networking technology that uses radio waves to provide wireless high-speed Internet and network connections. A common
misconception is that the term Wi-Fi is short for "wireless fidelity ," however this is not the
case. Wi-Fi is simply a trademarked phrase that means IEEE 802.11x .
The Wi-Fi Alliance
The Wi-Fi Alliance , the organization that owns the Wi-Fi registered trademark term specifically defines Wi-Fi as any " wireless
local area network ( WLAN) products that are based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' ( IEEE) 802.11 standards. "
Initially, Wi-Fi was used in place of only the 2.4GHz 802.11b standard, however the Wi-Fi
Alliance has expanded the generic use of the Wi-Fi term to include any type of network or
WLAN product based on any of the 802.11 standards , including 802.11b , 802.11a , dual- band, and so on, in an attempt to stop
confusion about wireless LAN interoperability
What is Bluetooth??
Bluetooth.
Bluetooth is designed to be a personal area
network, where participating entities are
mobile and require sporadic communication
with others. It is omni directional i.e. it does
not have line of sight limitation like infra red
does. Ericsson started the work on Bluetooth
and named it after the Danish king Harold
Biuetooth. Bluetooth operates in the 2.4 GHz
area of spectrum and provides a range of 10
metres. It offers transfer speeds of around 720
Kbps.
ANTENNAS
What are different categories of antenna and
give an example of each?
1. Wire Antennas - Short Dipole Antenna
2. Microstrip Antennas - Rectangular
Microstrip (Patch) Antennas
3. Reflector Antennas - Corner Reflector
4. Travelling Wave Antennas - Helical
Antennas
5. Aperture Antennas - Slot Antenna
6. Other Antennas - NFC Antennas
What is Electronics
the branch of physics and technology
concerned with the design of circuits
using transistors and microchips, and with the behaviour and movement of
electrons in a semiconductor,
conductor, vacuum, or gas
What is the main difference between trigger and clock pulses ?
What is the main difference between
trigger and clock pulses ?
Answer1
in level trigger mode, the input signal is
sampled when the clock signal is either
high or low whereas in edge trigger mode
the input signal is sampled at rising or at
the falling edge.
lever triggering is sensitive to glitches
whereas edge trigger is non sensitive..
example : latch for level trigger and flip-
flop for edge trigger
Basic ECE
Difference between electronic and
electrical. Electronics work on DC and with a voltage range of -48vDC to +48vDC. If the electronic device is plugged into a standard wall outlet, there will be a transformer inside which will convert the AC voltage you are supplying to the required DC voltage needed by the device.
Examples: Computer, radio, T.V,
etc...
Electric devices use line voltage (120vAC,240vAC, etc...). Electric devices can also be designed to operate on DC sources, but will be at DC voltages above 48v.
Examples: are incandescent lights,
heaters, fridge, stove, etc...
