How to calculate the transmission time of a packet

[auvi]

I want to calculate the transmission time of a packet. This transmission time depends on preamble, SFD, PHR and data transmission. According to the document, the length of preamble, SFD are represented as symbols. What is the transmission time of each of this symbol? I am considering 6.8 Mbps data rate, PRF 64 MHz, preamble length 128 symbols, SFD length 8 symbols, PHR 21 bits (mentioned in the document) and data is 20 bytes. As some of terms are represented as bits and others as symbols so what is the relation between symbol and bit? Finally, how to calculate the transmission time of a packet?

Thanks

The simple solution is to use the spreadsheet linked to here:

DW1000 Power Calculator not working

The DW1000 Power Calculator java application seems to be having issues when it has always worked in the past. It runs but fails to calculate any values. If I run it from a command line I get the error: java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: https://www.decawave.com//TWRCalculator/TWR_power_calculator.xlsx From memory 403 is access forbidden. And then when I click on calculate I get a null pointer exception on a call to ExcelInterface.writeCell So it looks like…

which will calculate the packet transmission time for any given configuration.

Thanks a lot. In the spreadsheet, the duration of SFD length and PHR are not mentioned. Also, in section 5.1.4 of dw1000-datasheet, the symbol duration of SHR, PHR and data are given which are different than spreadsheet (although no channel is given). Why there are differences?
