Hi,
I'm trying to understand how the nRF52840 makes RSSI measurements. From what I understand, while other manufacturers implement non-standard RSSI systems, the nRF52840 reports RSSI in decibels relative to milliwatts (dBm), which is typically referred to as RX power. I found the following in its product documentation (6.20.8):
What exactly is this "mechanism for measuring the power"? I've tried looking at the following answers, but am still unsure.

Just to clarify, my question isn't on the reliability of RSSI measurements, but on the mechanism/formula used to generate them. Any help would be much appreciated.
