Actually, power is power. Any way you cut it if you put a specific amount of power in a specific bandwidth it is all the same (a pound of feathers weighs the same as a pound of rocks). The only difference is that AMPS puts all of their power into a narrow signal where CDMA spreads it across a wider bandwidth. Boiled down: a 0dB AMPS signal has EXACTLY the same total amount of power as a 0dB CDMA signal, the AMPS signal is just all in one place.
