LoRa™, Semtech’s pro

oprietary mo
odulation is a spread‐spec
a
ctrum techniq that use wideband linear
que
es
frequency modulated pulses to en
y
ncode inform
mation, whose frequency increases or decreases o
e
over a
certain am
mount of time
e.
As with other spread‐
o
‐spectrum
mo
odulation tec
chniques LoR
Ra™ uses the entire chan
e
nnel bandwid to
dth
broadcast
t a signal, making it robust
t to channel n
noise. In addit
tion, because
e LoRa modulation uses a broad
band of the spectrum
it is also res
t
sistant to lon term relat ive frequency error, mult
ng
ti‐path, fading and

effects.
