RadioTool different average RSSI values for CC3100 and CC3200

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC3100, CC3200

RadioTool version 1.1.5686.29375

We have both CC3200LP and CC3100 booster pack with emu.

Thanks to radiotool we managed to send and receive packets to

- test CC3200 as TX against CC3100 as RX

- test CC3100 as TX against CC3200 as RX

In both cases transmitters were set with default values.

We noticed, please look ad the pictures, that average RSSI values for 'mang frames' and 'other frames' are almost similar but inverted.

We are asking:

1) which is the right case

2) what exactly do 'mang frames' and 'other frames' mean?

Thanks in advance

    Hi Filippo,

    RSSI mgmt frame means the average RSSI for all valid management packets received, and RSSI other frame means the average RSSI for all valid data packets received.

    Checking the Radio Tool source code and I see no issue of value swapping for these 2 devices. This variation could be board and environment dependent. Can you test these devices in an RF chamber and see if this difference still exist?
