 I am aware that according to IEEE standards RSSI value that chips return is not officially related to mW/dBm. However the values returned by your chips seem to be translated to dBm. 
 Could you tell me how accurate is the RSSI value (assuming</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 27 Oct 2016 13:53:11 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/17379/how-is-rssi-related-to-real-dbm-value-in-nrf51-chip" /><item><title>RE: How is RSSI related to real dBm value in nRF51 chip?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/66822?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 27 Oct 2016 13:53:11 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:35fb193b-94ba-4960-9ccd-3c4a66b66473</guid><dc:creator>Bentleylust</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thank you very much for this information.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How is RSSI related to real dBm value in nRF51 chip?</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/66821?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 27 Oct 2016 13:47:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:bcbda0a6-d416-4132-9456-e8c52a3d5ec0</guid><dc:creator>J&amp;#248;rgen Holmefjord</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;RSSI &lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.s130.api.v1.0.0/structble__gap__evt__rssi__changed__t.html"&gt;is given in dBm&lt;/a&gt;.

The nRF51 radio measures the strength of the received radio signal and calculates an approximate RSSI value from this.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
