Glossary

An electronic device or circuit that passes frequencies within a certain range and rejects frequencies outside that range.

A satellite navigation system with global coverage. The system provides signals from space transmitting positioning and timing data to GNSS receivers, which use this data to determine location.

A digital signal pin that can be used as input, output, or both. It is uncommitted and can be controlled by the user at runtime.

A satellite-based radio navigation system that provides its users with accurate location and time information over the globe.

In a radio receiving system, an electronic amplifier that amplifies a very low-power signal without significantly degrading its signal-to-noise ratio.

A dedicated control interface for the RF front-end subsystem. MIPI Alliance

The relation of the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) in the device input to the SNR in the device output.

Refers to any type of wireless transmission.

A board that connects electronic components.

Circular polarization in which the electric field vector rotates in a right-hand sense with respect to the direction of propagation.

The relation of incident power to reflected power typically expressed in dB. High return loss corresponds with low reflected signal level and good impedance matching.

The rate at which energy is absorbed by the human body when exposed to a radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic field or other forms of energy.

Several integrated circuits, often from different technologies, enclosed in a single module that performs as a system or subsystem.

The level of signal power compared to the level of noise power, often expressed in decibels (dB).
