RSSI in dB transform????

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2540

RSSI CHARACTERISTICS
Measured on Texas Instruments CC2540 EM reference design with TA = 25°C and VDD = 3 V
PARAMETER TEST CONDITIONS MIN TYP MAX UNIT
High-gain mode –99 to –44
Useful RSSI range(1) dBm
Standard mode –90 to –35
Absolute uncalibrated RSSI accuracy(1) High-gain mode ±4 dB
Step size (LSB value) 1 dB
(1) Assuming CC2540 EM reference design. Other RF designs give an offset from the reported value.

 

According to the data before,i dont know how to transform RSSI got by BTool into dB form??

Because now i write some experiment report and need to clearly explain the RSSI.

 

  • The RSSI value is a signed integer; however BTool only outputs an unsigned value. To get the actual RSSI value in dBm, take the value in BTool and subtract 256 from it. For example, if the RSSI in BTool shows up as 0xC4 (196), then the actual RSSI value is -60 dBm (196-256 = -60)

  • hi,

    Is RSSI a parameter in the Proximity proximity profile?? i could not find the UUID for RSSI.. can anyone please direct me to documentation where i could find the info.

    thank you
