You should measure conducted with specific equipment.&nbsp;</p> <p>In order to evaluate RF PHY, you need to use specific equipment (spectrum analyzer) for this, as the RSSI is only valid between -20 to -90 dBm:</p> <p><a href="https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ps_nrf52832/page/radio.html#d939e37486">https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ps_nrf52832/page/radio.html#d939e37486</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I strongly suggest that you create a private case, and ask for a design review.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Kind regards,</p> <p>Håkon</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/552245?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 23 Oct 2025 11:56:20 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:0d5b2504-36a3-4359-ae26-cbd8f68eea4eTurbo J<p>There is no reason for the receiver to support high signal levels, thus I assume that -35dB is just its maxed output value. Your setup &quot;screams its ears off&quot;.</p> <p>Try with a more sensible attenuator like 40 or 50 dB. Remember that BTLE receiver circuits are rather sensitive, these can &quot;hear grass grow&quot;.</p> <p>No idea whether you can just daisy-chain attenuators, I&#39;m not a HF guy.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
