SmartRF RSSI value

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2530

Is the reported RSSI value in SmartRF studio 7 actual value of received power or do we have to add offset for getting the actual value?

  • The RSSI displayed in the "Continuous RX" and "Packet RX" modes have been compensated by the RSSI offset value (e.g. 73 for CC2530). If you read a value from the RSSI register, however, you need to add the offset.

  •  hello Sverre,

        maybe I need your help, thanks very much! I want to get the RSSI value by reading the RSSI register directly, but I do not know how to write codes to get it, I also  cannot search any function to achieve it .thanks very much!!

  • Hi user3669836,

    You can refer to RSSI register in CC2530 user guide.

  • hello,sverre,
    I have another question, I need your help,thanks very much!when I set the transmitter and reciever at the same channel,and the transmitter

    starts at the "Continuous TX" mode and select the "unmodulated",the reciever starts at the "Continue RX" mode.I can measure a sine wave of 2.4GHZ at the SAM antenna pin of the transmitter,but why cannot I measure any signals at the SAM antenna pin of the reciever? if I want to measured the signals of the receiver,how should I modify the registers? thanks very much
