Hi!
I've been reading up on FDMA and CDMA and wondering why is it that in CDMA, each message is spread over the entire bandwidth allotted instead of using a single range of frequencies (say, alloted to one user in FDMA), for several users (by assigning a unique code to each of them)?
Why is it that the entire bandwidth is utilised by all users instead of many ranges accomodating several users each? Is the restriction imposed by capacity?
This probably sounds very childish but I'm a greenhorn and would really appreciate some clarification. Thanks in advance...
