frequency (IF) backend.
ADCSee analog-to-digital converter.
ADDAGSee Analog-to-Digital, Digital-to-Analog and Glue.

to handle such signals. See also digital.

conversionConversion of an instantaneous dc voltage level to a corresponding 
digital value. See also D/A.
analog-to-digital 
converterA device that converts analog signals into digital data. See also DAC.
APCO 25A standard of digital two-way radio communications, developed by the 
Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials, providing 
maximum radio spectrum efficiency; competition in system life cycle 
procurements; effective, efficient and reliable intra-agency and inter-
agency communications; and “user friendly” equipment. See also

or Project 25) to set the recommended voluntary standards of uniform 
digital two-way radio technology for public safety organizations. This 
allows radio interoperability with multiple vendor products which are all

subscriber radio. The DSP is responsible for computation-intensive 
tasks, such as decoding ASTRO signaling.

Programmable 
Read-Only MemoryA special type of PROM that can be erased by exposing it to an 
electrical charge. An EEPROM retains its contents even when the 
power is turned off.
FCCFederal Communications Commission.
firmwareCode 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.

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

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.
