Register Description
Figure 8-4.
Register 0x06 (PHY_RSSI):
• Bit 7 - RX_CRC_VALID
Refer to register description in
• Bit [6:5] - RND_VALUE
Refer to register description in section
• Bit [4:0] - RSSI
The result of the automated RSSI measurement is stored in register bits RSSI. The value is
updated every 2 µs in receive states.
The read value is a number between 0 and 28 indicating the received signal strength as a linear
curve on a logarithmic input power scale (dBm) with a resolution of 3 dB. An RSSI value of 0
indicates an RF input power of P
