Glossary

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

A mechanism for upgrading the firmware of a device.

A sudden discharge of electric current between two electrically charged objects.

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

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.

Simulates a charged person discharging to ground through a circuit.

A semiconductor chip consisting of fabricated transistors, resistors, and capacitors.

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

A device used to increase the transmit power level of a radio signal.

A board that connects electronic components.

Enables peripherals to interact autonomously with each other using tasks and events independent of the CPU.

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

A standard two-wire interface for programming and debugging Arm® CPUs.

A card used in User Equipment (UE) containing data for subscriber identification.

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

A microchip that integrates all the necessary electronic circuits and components of a computer or other electronic systems on a single integrated circuit.

A new generation Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) used in UE for ensuring the integrity and security of personal data.

A card used in UE containing data for subscriber identification.

Any device used by an end-user to communicate. The UE consists of the Mobile Equipment (ME) and the Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC).
