Comparison between mobile systems?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights key differences between 2nd generation (GSM) and 4th generation mobile systems. GSM primarily uses Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK) for modulation, while 4G employs advanced techniques like Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). In terms of multiplexing, GSM utilizes Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), whereas 4G supports more complex methods, allowing for higher data rates. The bit rate and bandwidth for subscribers are significantly higher in 4G, accommodating faster internet speeds and more simultaneous connections. Overall, 4G systems are more complex, offering enhanced capabilities compared to GSM.

what are the main differences between the 2nd generation (GSM) system and the 4th generation, in terms of:
-the type of modulation used.
-multiplexing with the base station.
-bit rate and bandwidth given for each supscriber.
- the complexity of the system.

if you could provide links for helpful websites that'd be great.
thanks in advance.

The EE forum is the logical place to ask this, but I don't know the answer. What online resources have you checked in looking for the answers? I'm sure wikipedia covers at least some of your questions.
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
