+===== -. Theoretical Analysis =====
+In this section, you will perform a theoretical assessment of the performance of LoRa modulation. You will later compare this theoretical results to the experimental ones as in a typical scientific study.
+<WRAP left round help 100%>
+  * What is the relation between processing gain and spreading factor in LoRa modulation? Explain.
+  * How does the spreading factor impact the coverage of a LoRa transmitter?
+  * For each of the three possible configurations of your LoRa module, what is the transmission bit rate? Explain your computation.
+  * Compute the receiver sensitivity, assuming the following parameters: channel bandwidth = 125 kHz, spreading factor = 7, coding rate = 4/5, bit error rate (BER) target = 10<sup>-4</sup>, and receiver noise figure = 6 dB. Refer to this {{ :1705.05899.pdf | article}} to determine the mapping between the BER and the SNR.
+  * Compare the computed sensitivity to that provided by the {{ :an1200.22.pdf |Semtech Application Note AN1200.22}} for the same parameters.
