RX
receive or receiver
Term used to refer to the receiver section of a transceiver or the operation
of receiving signals
SAR
Successive
Approximation
Register ADC
A type of Analog to Digital converter that used a digital binary search to
converge on the correct digital representation of the analog input level.
SECDED
single error
correct, double
error detect
parity check
sequence in the
PHR)
A coding scheme that allows the: -
detection and correction of a single bit error in a group of bits or
the detection but not the correction of a double bit error in a group of
bits
The IEEE802.15.4-2011 UWB standard defines the use of such a scheme as
a parity check in the PHR portion of the frame.
SFD
start of frame
delimiter
Defined in the context of the IEEE802.15.4-2011 [1] standard. Indicates
the completion of the preamble section of the frame and the
commencement of the payload section.
SHR
preamble and
SFD)
Defined in the context of the IEEE802.15.4-2011 [1] standard. The first
portion of an IEEE802.15.4-2011 UWB frame containing the preamble and
SFD
SPI
serial peripheral
interface
An industry accepted method for interfacing between IC’s using a
synchronous serial scheme first introduced by Motorola
TDOA
time difference of
arrival
Method of deriving information on the location of a transmitter. The time
of arrival of a transmission at two physically different locations whose
clocks are synchronized is noted and the difference in the arrival times
provides information on the location of the transmitter. A number of such
TDOA measurements at different locations can be used to uniquely
determine the position of the transmitter. Refer to Decawave’s website
for further information.
TOF
time of flight
The time taken for a radio signal to travel between the transmitting
antenna and the receiving antenna
TX
transmit or
transmitter
Term used to refer to the transmitter section of a transceiver or the
operation of transmitting signals
UWB
ultra wide band
A radio scheme employing channel bandwidths of, or in excess of, 500MHz
WSN
wireless sensor
networks
A network of wireless nodes intended to enable the monitoring and
control of the physical environment
XTI
internal 19.2 MHz
clock (is the raw
38.4 MHz XTAL
oscillator input
÷ 2)
The 38.4 MHz XTAL oscillator clock divided by 2.
