CDMA: Reverse Channel

 The Reverse channel is the mobile-to-cell direction of communication or the uplink

path.
 CDMA reverse channel uses frequency band of 869-894 MHz,
 Bandwidth of each channel is 1.25 MHz. The reverse link is separated from forward
link by 45 MHz.
 Modulation scheme used is OQPSK (Orthogonal Quadrature Phase Shift Keying).
 There is no spreading of the data symbols using orthogonal codes instead orthogonal
codes are used for waveform encoding.
 Spreading is carried out by 42-bitlong PN codes. After spreading they are further
scrambled in phase and Quadrature phase by PN spreading codes.
