I’m a student trying to write a term paper about a project that uses LoRa. After looking for information on what the spreading factor is, I’ve found three explanations and I’m completely lost on which one to use for my paper…
1: Number of bits encoded by one symbol.
2: Speed of a chirp/chirp frequency
3: SF = Chipping factor, number of chips sent per bit
Can someone help me on this? Sources would be very appreciated!
