0x00–0xff

UWB LCP Weight2

The weights are represented in twos-complement form. A value of 0x80 represents –1 while a value of 0x7F represents 1

0x00–0xff

UWB LCP Weight3

The weights are represented in twos-complement form. A value of 0x80 represents –1 while a value of 0x7F represents 1

0x00–0xff

UWB LCP Weight4

0x00–0xff

UWB LCP Delay3

The range is from 0 to 4 ns with a resolution is 4/255 = 15.625 ps. For example, a value of 0x00 represents 0 while 0x02 represents 31.25 ps

0x00–0xff

UWB LCP Delay4

The range is from 0 to 4 ns with a resolution is 4/255 = 15.625 ps. For example, a value of 0x00 represents 0 while 0x02 represents 31.25 ps

0x00–0xff

TRUE, FALSE

Ranging Crystal Offset

TRUE if crystal offset characterization is supported, FALSE otherwise

TRUE, FALSE

TRUE if DPS is supported, FALSE otherwise

TRUE, FALSE

Current Code

This value is zero for PHYs other than UWB or CSS. For UWB PHYs, this represents the current preamble code index in use by the transmitter. For the CSS PHY, the value indicates the subchirp,

0~24

Native PRF

For UWB PHYs, the native PRF. Zero is for non-UWB PHYs; one is for PRF of 4; two is for a PRF of 16; and three is for PHYs that have no preference.

0~3

UWB Scan Bins Per Channel

Number of frequency intervals used to scan each UWB channel (scan resolution). Set to zero for non-UWB PHYs

0–255

UWB Inserted Preamble Interval

The time interval between two neighboring inserted preamble symbols in the data portion, for UWB PHYs operating with CCA mode 6. The resolution is a data symbol duration at a data rate of 850 kb/s for all channels. Set to four for UWB PHY in CCA mode 6; otherwise, set to zero.

TXR MARKER Offset

A count of the propagation time from the ranging counter to the transmit antenna. The LSB of a time value represents 1/128 of a chip time at the mandatory chipping rate of 499.2 MHz

0x00000000–0xffffffff

RXR MARKER Offset
