abs_i name

[Jiahua-Gong]

I find the file power_trigger.v line 57 ,the abs_i is the complement code of input_i,Why were you called the signal name is abs_i? the abs_i means absolute value.

always @(posedge clock) begin
    if (reset) begin
        sample_count <= 0;
        trigger <= 0;
        abs_i <= 0;
        state <= S_SKIP;
    end else if (enable & sample_in_strobe) begin
        abs_i <= input_i[15]? ~input_i+1: input_i;
        case(state)
            S_SKIP: begin
                if(sample_count > num_sample_to_skip) begin
                    state <= S_IDLE;
                end else begin
                    sample_count <= sample_count + 1;
                end
            end

            S_IDLE: begin
                if (num_sample_changed) begin
                    sample_count <= 0;
                    state <= S_SKIP;
                end else if (abs_i > power_thres) begin
                    // trigger on any significant signal 
                    trigger <= 1;
                    sample_count <= 0;
                    state <= S_PACKET;
                end
            end

            S_PACKET: begin
                if (num_sample_changed) begin
                    sample_count <= 0;
                    state <= S_SKIP;
                end else if (abs_i < power_thres) begin
                    // go back to idle for N consecutive low signals
                    if (sample_count > window_size) begin
                        trigger <= 0;
                        state <= S_IDLE;
                    end else begin
                        sample_count <= sample_count + 1;
                    end
                end else begin
                    sample_count <= 0;
                end
            end
        endcase
    end
