Definition

 

 

 

 

 

 

DTMF

See dual tone multi-frequency.

 

dual tone multi-

The system used by touch-tone telephones. DTMF assigns a specific

 

frequency

frequency, or tone, to each key so that it can easily be identified by a

 

 

microprocessor.

 

EEPROM

See Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory.

 

effective radiated

The power supplied to an antenna multiplied by the antenna gain in a

 

power

given direction. ERP is usually calculated by multiplying the measured

 

 

transmitter output power by the specified antenna system gain, relative

 

 

to a half-wave dipole, in the direction of interest.

 

EIA

Electronic Industries Association

 

Electrically Erasable

A special type of PROM that can be erased by exposing it to an

 

Programmable

electrical charge. An EEPROM retains its contents even when the

 

Read-Only Memory

power is turned off.

 

electronic

A digital potentiometer that is electrically programmable.

EPOT

See electronic potentiometer.

 

ERP

See effective radiated power.

 

FCC

Federal Communications Commission.

 

firmware

Code executed by an embedded processor such as the Host or DSP in

 

 

a subscriber radio. This type of code is typically resident in non-volatile

 

 

memory and as such is more difficult to change than code executed

 

 

from RAM.

 

FGU

See frequency generation unit.

 

flash

A non-volatile memory device similar to an EEPROM. Flash memory

 

 

can be erased and reprogrammed in blocks instead of one byte at a

 

 

time.

 

FLASHcode

A 13-digit code which uniquely identifies the System Software Package

 

 

and Software Revenue Options that are enabled in a particular

 

 

subscriber radio. FLASHcodes are only applicable for radios which are

 

 

upgradeable through the FLASHport process.

 

FLASHport

A Motorola term that describes the ability of a radio to change memory.

 

 

Every FLASHport radio contains a FLASHport memory chip that can be

 

 

software written and rewritten to, again and again.

 

FMR

See Florida Manual Revision.

 

Florida Manual

A publication that provides supplemental information for its parent

 

Revision

publication before it is revised and reissued.
