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.
