CC3200: How to increase or decrease sniffing power of CC3200 Transreceiver as a Snifffer

Part Number: CC3200


I want to increase or decrease the power of CC3200 Trans receiver as a "Sniffer". So I can change the power according to the area.Can anyone explain what is the actual range of CC3200 as sniffer. And how much, it is in terms of periphery? Or To what maximum distance it can sniff in a Trans receiver mode?

Thanks.

  • Hi Techinspired,

    If you need increase RX sensitivity, you need connect antenna with higher gain. RX range cannot be easy determined because it depends on local conditions. But with CC3200 LaunchPad is RX range comparable with other WiFi devices.
    TX power in Transceiver mode is configurable via API sl_SetSockOpt() SL_SOL_PHY_OPT -> SL_SO_PHY_TX_POWER.
