LoRa (LoRaWAN) is a new modulation technique optimised for long range, low power, low bitrate communication. You'll often hear people say LoRa uses "Chirp Spread Spectrum', but this alone is only a small part of the story. LoRa uses an elegant mathematical trick to allow more efficient receivers. In this video, I outline how LoRa modulation works - it is incredibly unique. I was amazed how LoRa can communicate well beneath the noise floor. I tested the performance of LoRa with a Matlab livescript demonstration.
