Term, Abbreviation or Acronym Definition
Bit Error Rate The number of received bits that are in error divided by the total
number of bits received, including those in error.
BER See Bit Error Rate.
bridge mode A mode in which the MAC transfers data or “bridges” between the
1394 bus and the air link.
CFR 47, Part 15 Code of Federal Regulations 47, Part 15. Describes FCC rules for
devices that emit Ultra-Wideband signals.
continuous mode A transceiver mode in which a single header and single, long
payload are transmitted. It applies only to a transmitter; a UWB Node
is never placed into continuous receive mode. This mode is only
used for FCC compliance testing as discussed in section 5.
destination transceiver An Evaluation Kit Transceiver that has been configured so that it can
receive frames from a source transceiver and display statistics
associated with them.
DEV A UWB Node in a piconet that is not acting as a PNC.
EIRP Effective Isotropic Radiated Power
FEC See Forward Error Correction.
FER See Frame Error Rate.
Forward Error Correction Redundancy built into a data stream being transmitted over lossy
media such as through the atmosphere to reduce end-to-end error
rates by enhancing e. The transceiver implements FEC with soft-
decision convolutional encoding and Viterbi decoding.
Frame Error Rate The number of received frames that have either a header check
sequence (HCS) error or a frame check sequence (FCS) error
divided by the total number of frames received, including those in
error.
