This chapter 
This chapter provides information about the characteristic and configuration 
of the analog RSSI output on the radio. 
3.9.1  Introduction/Overview 
Introduction 
The received signal strength indication (RSSI) is available as an analog 
voltage via the RSSI output on the rear side of the radio (X11.8). 
The R&S Series 4200 radios support a configurable analog RSSI output. 
RSSI Output Type 
The RSSI output characteristic can be configured with the “RSSI Output” 
parameter in two different modes: 
  “R&S Standard” type with a linear dependency of the received signal 
strength predefined by the manufacturer (see Fig. 3.80  RSSI 
output type  R&S Standard) 
 
“User defined” type with variable u
ser defined parameter settings to 
adapt the radio behavior to customer’s needs (see Fig. 3.81 RSSI 
output type  User defined) 
R&S Standard 
The 
RSSI output type “R&S Standard” has a linear characteristic with the 
slope of 38.5 mV/dB and offset of 4620 mV @ 0 dBm.
