| Abb. | meaning | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ASK | Amplitude Shift Keying | Keying 0's and 1's by altering the radio carriers amplitude |
| FSK | Frequency Shift Keying | Keying 0's and 1's by altering the radio carriers frequency |
| PSK | Phase Shift Keying | Keying 0's and 1's by altering the radio carriers phase |
| MPSK | Multiple Phase Shift Keying | Keying more than one bit at a time by using four or more phases |
| RF | Radio Frequency | Rate of oscillation in the range of around 3 kHz to 300 GHz corresponding to radio waves |
| FSPL | Free Space Path Loss | Loss of amplitude of the signal in free space over distance |
