RF Core Terms and Acronyms¶
- CPE
- Command and Packet Engine
- The unit on the RF core that is responsible for command execution and packet encoding/decoding. It acts as a supervisor for all other sub-modules during command execution.
- MCE
- Modem Control Engine
- A functional unit on the RF core that sits in between the CPE and the RFE. It is responsible for signal modulation/demodulation and binary base band processing.
- RAT
- Radio Timer
- A functional unit on the RF core that provides accurate timing for command execution. It runs with 1/4 speed of the high- frequency oscillator.
- RFE
- Radio Front-end Engine
- A functional unit on the RF core that is responsible for the analog signal processing part. It connects the MCE to the antenna.
- IB
- Current Bias
- One of several parameters for adjusting output power during packet transmissions. ‘I’ in ‘IB’ stands for the SI unit for current.
- PA
- Power Amplifier
- A RF power amplifier converts a low-power RF signal into a higher power signal. Typically, RF power amplifiers drive the antenna of a transmitter.
- genfsk
- Used as an abbreviation for settings that uses the patch rf_patch_cpe_genfsk. genfsk supports up to 500 kbps FSK and GFSK.
- SLR
- Simplelink Long Range
- RF mode designed to giv a long range. The data rate is 5 kbps.
Over the Air Download (OAD) Terms and Acronyms¶
- BIM
- Boot Image Manager running on the OAD Client.
- OAD
- Over the Air Download
- OAD Client
- The device receiving firmware images from an OAD Server.
- OAD Server
- The device responsible for distributing new firmware images.
- SNV
- Simple Non Volatile. An abstraction layer used by the BLE stack for reading and writing to non volatile memory. The GAPBondMgr layer of stack uses SNV to store keys. This region can also be used by the user.
