10.3 Signal parameters
RSSI
RSSI is an abbreviation and stands for “Received Signal Strength Indicator”. The RSSI is a measurement taken by the radio re-
ceiver and indicates the received signal strength.
SNR
The Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) compares the communications signal level to the background noise level. The SNR is a crucial
indicator of the connection quality.
Signal Bandwidth
The signal bandwidth with Silvus radios can be adjusted between 5Mhz, 10MHz or 20Mhz. Generally, a greater signal band-
width increases throughput and trafc performance, but reduces SNR due to higher susceptibility to noise. Due to this fact, try
reducing bandwidth in noisy or long-range conditions. If you have a high trafc load and larger network, a greater bandwidth
may increase performance.
