IEEE 802.15.4 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. For a complete
description, please refer to [1].
The modulation and spreading functions
are illustrated at block level in Figure 5 [1].
Each byte is divided into two symbols, 4
bits each. The least significant symbol is
transmitted first. For multi-byte fields, the

equivalent to MSK modulation. Each chip
