This document provides an overview of Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) technology. It discusses the UMTS architecture with its three main components: the user equipment, UTRAN, and core network. The WCDMA architecture uses Frequency Division Duplexing and employs Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum techniques. Key parameters of WCDMA include a 5MHz channel bandwidth, 3.84MHz chip rate, and 10ms frame length. WCDMA has advantages over previous standards like higher bandwidth and data rates, and has become an important mobile communication technology.

Introduction
Wide band code Division Multiple Access is an improvement
over the existing CDMA standard and it uses a 5MHz wide
radio signal with chip rated of 3.84MHz, the WCDMA
technology support higher bit rate which help to improve
thethe quality of service
to support multiple service each user should
have seperate channels for each service

WCDMA Architecture

The UMTS terrstrial ratio access uses FDD as
well TDD for Duplexing

UTRA-FDD is called WCDMA

WCDMA uses DS-SS technique

Conclusion
WCDMA has many advantages like much higher
B.W.(3Mhz), high chip rate(3.84Mcps), high data
rate(up to 2Mbps), enhanced security and so on..
Thus it is the growing technology for
mobile generations
