Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Magnitude == RSSI?

[Ben Hilburn]

You shouldn't use the magnitude of the received samples as RSSI.    The magnitudes are generally in nondescript 'engineering units (dB)'.

If you want to calculate RSSI, Marcus Leech has posted a good solution a few times in the past:

I've noticed that some dboards have RSSI sensors while others don't. Since I'm using a SBX (rev 3) which doesn't seem to have such a sensor, I'm wondering if it's also correct to use the magnitude of the samples as an indicator for the RSS or is this value somehow "distorted"?
