2.11.8. V4L2_SDR_FMT_PCU20BE (‘PC20’)

Planar complex unsigned 20-bit big endian IQ sample

2.11.8.1. Description

This format contains a sequence of complex number samples. Each complex number consist of two parts called In-phase and Quadrature (IQ). Both I and Q are represented as a 20 bit unsigned big endian number stored in 32 bit space. The remaining unused bits within the 32 bit space will be padded with 0. I value starts first and Q value starts at an offset equalling half of the buffer size (i.e.) offset = buffersize/2. Out of the 20 bits, bit 19:2 (18 bit) is data and bit 1:0 (2 bit) can be any value.

Byte Order. Each cell is one byte.
