22. RSSI output

CC1000 has a built-in RSSI (Received

Signal

Strength

Indicator)

giving

analogue output signal at the RSSI/IF pin.

The IF_RSSI bits in the FRONT_END

function is enabled, the output current of

this pin is inversely proportional to the

input signal level. The output should be

terminated in a resistor to convert the

current output into a voltage. A capacitor

is used in order to low-pass filter the

signal.

The RSSI voltage range from 0 – 1.2 V

when using a 27 k

Ω terminating resistor,

giving approximately 50 dB/V. This RSSI

voltage can be measured by an A/D

converter. Note that a higher voltage

means

lower

input

signal.

The RSSI measures the power referred to

the RF_IN pin. The input power can be

calculated using the following equations:

P = -51.3 VRSSI– 49.2 [dBm] at 433 MHz

P = -50.0 VRSSI– 45.5 [dBm] at 868 MHz

The external network for RSSI operation is

shown in Figure 21. R281 = 27 k

Ω, C281

= 1nF.

A typical plot of RSSI voltage as function

of input power is shown in Figure 22.
