Dear all,
I saw an application called "High Frequency RSSI Sampling
Application" written by Phil Levis on the webhttp://docs.tinyos.net/

ication. I have a query about the purpose of writing this
application for measuring CC2420 RSSI readings. Is the RSSI value
returned from the RSSI field unreliable? If it is reliable for
research measurement, what is the point for writing another
programme to retrieve RSSI value?
I also tried to read the RSSI register value, and compare it with
the values obtained from RSSI field. I found they were different,
could anyone help me with the explanation for this deviation please?
Read the CC2420 data sheet on how the RSSI register is filled. If you
read it at different times, you can get different values. After all,
the RF energy in the environment may have changed. That's one of the
major reasons why wireless is hard.
Phil
