Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Answer: Broadband CDMA

Explanation: Third-generation (3G) mobile systems are digital and are based on broadband/wideband CDMA technologies such as W‑CDMA (used by UMTS) and CDMA2000.

  • AMPS is an analog first-generation (1G) system, so it is not 3G.

  • D‑AMPS is a digital 2G system based on TDMA, not the CDMA-based approach used in 3G.

  • CDMA (IS‑95) refers to earlier narrowband CDMA; 3G specifically uses broadband/wideband CDMA variants (W‑CDMA, CDMA2000) to support higher data rates.

Key point: 3G = digital and uses broadband/wideband CDMA technologies.
