17.3 RSSI Strength Characterizations
In the
Details
pane, a categorical characterization is provided to advise the user of RSSI strength on a selected
Bluetooth packet (BLE or BR/EDR). This measurement is made at the antenna on which the signal was received.
These characterizations are in the
Sniffer Radio
section of the
Details
pane. The sub-fields are
RX Strength
(RSSI)
,
RX Quality
, and
RF Gain
(which is set by the user in Recording Options | Wireless menu).
RF Gain setting (Recording Options | Wireless
), will offset the
transition values of one category to/from the next/previous by the amount of the
RF Gain
Setting. The chart below assumes an RF Gain setting of 0dB.
