The full form of FDMA is Frequency Division Multiple Access.
FDMA is a channel access method used in multiple-access protocols. It allocates individual frequency bands or channels to separate users. This means each user gets exclusive access to a specific frequency range for communication, preventing interference between users. This technique was prominently used in early cellular systems like 1G and 2G.
Here's a breakdown of what FDMA entails:
- Frequency Division: The available bandwidth is divided into distinct frequency channels.
- Multiple Access: Allows multiple users to access the communication medium simultaneously by assigning each user a unique frequency channel.
In essence, FDMA enables concurrent communication by slicing up the frequency spectrum and dedicating a slice to each user.
