CDMA2000® 1xRTT

CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Technology Overview

CDMA2000^®, also known as CDMA2000^®1xRTT, 1X or IS-2000, is a 3G mobile telecommunications standard for wireless transmission of voice and data with significant deployments worldwide.

CDMA2000^® is based on code division multiplex access (CDMA), where all users share the same 1.25 MHz-wide channel, but use individual pseudo noise (PN) sequences for differentiation. CDMA2000^® is fully downward compatible with cdmaOne (IS-95), making the upgrade path easy and seamless for operators.

The new CDMA2000^® Revision E expands voice capacity by supporting new radio configurations, and it contains enhanced features such as femtocell support, geolocation support and cell identification broadcast messaging.

Deployment Scenario

As the first IMT-2000 technology, CDMA2000^® saw initial worldwide deployment in the year 2000. Most existing cdmaOne networks have since been upgraded to CDMA2000^®.

Today CDMA2000^® is used primarily to deliver circuit switched services such as voice, SMS and MMS, though CDMA2000^® Release 0 is capable of peak data rates of 153.6 kbit/s in both forward and reverse links. Higher data rates are available with 1xEV-DO. Hybrid mode makes it possible for a mobile station to operate both technologies, taking advantage of the better suited feature of each technology depending on the application.

Rohde & Schwarz Test Solutions

Rohde & Schwarz supports 1xRTT with a broad product portfolio for transmitter and receiver tests, radiocommunications, application testing and drive test solutions. Mainly implemented as software and firmware options in multistandard devices, these solutions can be updated when standards are modified.
