17 IEEE 802.15.4-2006 Modulation Format

This section is meant as an introduction to the 2.4 GHz direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) RF

modulation format defined in IEEE 802.15.4-2006. For a complete description, please refer to the standard

document [2].

The modulation and spreading functions are illustrated at block level in Figure 12. Each byte is divided into

two symbols, 4 bits each. The least significant symbol is transmitted first. For multi-byte fields, the least

significant byte is transmitted first, except for security related fields where the most significant byte it

transmitted first.

Each symbol is mapped to one out of 16 pseudo-random sequences, 32 chips each. The symbol to chip

mapping is shown in Table 16. The chip sequence is then transmitted at 2 Mchips/s, with the least

significant chip (C0) transmitted first for each symbol. The transmitted bit stream and the chip sequences are

observable on GPIO pins. See Table 9 for details on how to configure the GPIO to do this.

The modulation format is Offset – Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (O-QPSK) with half-sine chip shaping.

This is equivalent to MSK modulation. Each chip is shaped as a half-sine, transmitted alternately in the I and

Q channels with one half chip period offset. This is illustrated for the zero-symbol in Figure 13.
