Advanced Mobile Phone System : First Generation Cellular Radio standard developed in the USA. It is an analogue system which uses different frequency carriers to create communications channels in a technique known as Frequency Division Multiple Access(FDMA). AMPS is still widely used and forms the basis for a number of other cellular radio standards such as TACS and D-AMPS. 4, record 1, English, - advanced%20mobile%20phone%20system
