the I and Q data), and interleave the I and Q data.
— shift the data pointer right 8 bits to the beginning of the high byte (ivalue >> 8)
— AND (boolean) the high I byte with 0xFF to make the high I byte the value to store in the IQ
array—(ivalue >> 8) & 0xFF
— AND (boolean) the low I byte with 0xFF (ivalue & 0xFF) to make the low I byte the value to store
in the I/Q array location just after the high byte [index * 4 + 1]
— Swap the Q byte order within the same loop. Notice that the I and Q data interleave with each loop
cycle. This is due to the I/Q array shifting by one location for each I and Q operation [index * 4 +
n].
