1. In the case of direct CDMA, interference will occur if the PN codes are
a) Orthogonal to each other
b) Non orthogonal to each other
c) Orthogonal & Non orthogonal to each other
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: If the PN codes are not purely orthogonal in direct CDMA interference will occur.

2. If the active users using a cell doubles, the required Eb/I0
