8.2 Interpreting RSSI Energy Levels<br />

On the ETRX2 and ETRX3 series modules the readings from <strong>AT</strong>+ESCAN represent the<br />

hexadecimal readings from the RSSI register of the EM250 or EM35x, offset by +127 to make it a<br />

positive number. <strong>AT</strong>+ESCAN returns the background radio power so that the quietest channel can<br />

be selected for a new network; if you want to measure the RSSI of incoming messages you must<br />

set bit C of register S10 (see page 65).<br />

The EM250 and EM35x SoCs calculate the RSSI over an 8-symbol period as well as at the end of<br />

a received packet. They utilize the RX gain settings and the output level of the ADC within its<br />

algorithm. The linear range of RSSI is specified to be 40dB over all temperatures. At room<br />

temperature, the linear range is approximately 60dB (-90 dBm to -30dBm).<br />
