RSSI of local device

[Rekha]

Hi I have a device which can get RSSI value from other devices.

But how do we get RSSI of my device itself.

i.e How to print RSSI of local device on the same device terminal.

???

Please suggest.

Thanks

Hi,

Short answer is that you can't.

RSSI - Received Signal Strength Indication

As the name suggests this measurement is made on a received signal. By design wireless transceivers don't tend to receive their own transmissions. Even if they did it would always be at the maximum value achievable by your hardware and firmware set-up.

If you really wanted then you can measure or calculate the efficiency of your tuning network and antenna path when you perform your final antenna tuning on the product board and give a false reading based on the transmission power that you've set.

Thank you very much for the clarification.
