Excel sheet to estimate range for Indoor and Outdoor

5875.Range Estimation for Indoor and Outdoor Rev1_12.xlsx

Hi,

The attached excel sheet helps to estimate a practical range estimation for indoor and outdoor radio links.

The outdoor is based upon Line-of-Sight (LOS). For the indoor estimation, construction materials can be selected that are between the Tx and Rx unit. The greater the attenuation of the combined material between the Tx and Rx unit, the shorter the distance.

This has been used a lot in TI seminars and is a helpful tool for calculating a realistic and conservative range expectation.

Ver 1.08: updated with support for CC2564, CC31xx and CC32xx and added link to documentation

Ver 1.11: updated with support for the new Long Range Modes from CC13xx and improved the accuracy of predicted range a little bit more.

Regards,
Richard

Any feedback is welcomed.

Regards, Richard
