The main difference between two succeeding mobile telephone systems, 1G and 2G, is that the radio signals that 1G networks use are analog, while 2G networks are digital. Although both systems use digital signaling to connect the radio towers (which listen to the handsets) to the rest of the telephone system, the call itself is encoded to digital signals in 2G whereas 1G is only modulated to higher frequency, typically 150MHz and up.
WCDMA is totally different from CDMA2000. WCDMA is based on GSM technology and thus requires a USIM card, which is similar to the GSM SIM card. Basiclaly , WCDMA is the third generation of GSM technology, where as CDMA2000 is the third generation of CDMA.
Technically generations are defined:
1G networks (NMT, C-Nets, AMPS, TACS) are considered to be the first analog cellular systems, which started early 1980s. There were radio telephone systems even before that.
2G networks (GSM, cdmaOne, DAMPS) are the first digital cellular systems launched early 1990s.
2.5G networks (GPRS, cdma2000 1x) are the enhanced versions of 2G networks with data rates up to about 144kbit/s.
3G networks (UMTS FDD and TDD, cdma2000 1x EVDO, cdma2000 3x, TD-SCDMA, Arib WCDMA, EDGE, IMT-2000 DECT) are the latest cellular networks that have data rates 384kbit/s and more.
4G is mainly a marketing buzzword at the moment. Some basic 4G research is being done, but no frequencies have been allocated. The Forth Generation could be ready for implementation around 2012.
3G WCDMA systems have 5MHz bandwidth (one direction). 5MHz is neither wide nor narrow; it is just the bandwidth. New 3G WCDMA systems have wider bandwidth than existing 2G cdma systems (cdmaOne 1.25MHz), that's why the "Wide". There are commercial cdma systems with 20MHz bandwidth.

Concerning WCDMA and CDMA2000, they
are both standards for advanced digital wireless
communications, but by differents standards
bodies. Both use "code division multiple access",
an advanced technology that uses "codes" to
separate communications in the same frequency
band. WCDMA uses 5 megahertz channels,
while CDMA2000 uses 1x1.25 MHz,
2x1.25MHz or 3x1.25Mz.

CDMA2000 and WCDMA:

WCDMA incorporates all the good points of code division multiple access into GSM, it is a third generation technology.
CDMA2000 is a new iteration of the CDMA standard.
1G - Analog signal based systems
2G - conversion to digital
3G - Beyond voice and text

Paganism is a large type of religions. this is tricky to define yet often is seen as being any faith that the two is non-Abrahamic (no longer Jewish, Christian, Muslim and so on), is polytheistic or is in keeping with pre-Christian eu traditions. there are a number of pagan religions which comprise Wicca, Druidry, Thelema and distinctive reconstructionist faiths between many others. some could nicely be pretty distinctive than others at the same time as some share many similarities. Wicca is a particular pagan faith that makes a speciality of a God/Goddess duality, celebrates 8 photograph voltaic holiday journeys, particularly some lunar events and is oftentimes linked with witchcraft. Wicca isn't a "branch" of paganism, considering that paganism isn't a faith. Wicca is a faith which may well be defined as pagan. All Wiccans are pagans. no longer all pagans are Wiccans. Paganism has an huge variety of ideals, so there's no thank you to describe how "paganism" is distinctive than Wicca, particularly considering that Wicca is pagan. No disrespect taken. this is oftentimes effective while human beings desire to actual know extra approximately my faith-group. -Scarlet

Paganism is a wide category of religions. It may be hard to define however ordinarily is obvious as being any religion that both is non-Abrahamic (now not Jewish, Christian, Muslim etc), is polytheistic or is founded on pre-Christian European traditions. There are many pagan religions together with Wicca, Druidry, Thelema and more than a few reconstructionist faiths amongst many others. Some can be vastly different than others whilst some share many similarities. Wicca is a distinctive pagan faith that focuses on a God/Goddess duality, celebrates eight sunlight vacations, various lunar hobbies and is more commonly associated with witchcraft. Wicca isn't a "branch" of paganism, seeing that paganism is not a faith. Wicca is a religion that may be described as pagan. All Wiccans are pagans. Not all pagans are Wiccans. Paganism has an substantial variety of beliefs, so there isn't any approach to describe how "paganism" is distinct than Wicca, certainly when you consider that that Wicca is pagan. No disrespect taken. It can be continuously high-quality when folks want to honestly know more about my religion-group. -Scarlet
