Source at commit 424ddce9756cb5ead3e86ec27e767b4e25596ed6 created 13 years 4 months ago.
By Werner Almesberger, ants/: Passive board for antenna testing.
1Signal strength tests. "Local" devices are on lab bench, about 5 cm apart.
2"Distant" device is in the adjacent room, separated by one thin brick wall
3and 4 m of air.
4
5TX is requested 0 dBm (effectively -0.2 dBm). Transmission is without
6CSMA-CA and ARQ. Results are LQI and ED (dBm). "garbled" is a bad CRC and
7corrupted frame content. "-" is no reception.

72Conclusions
73-----------
74
75- 20100813 (atusb) and 20100908 (atusd) board show similar performance when
76  at least one station is an atusb
77
78- resistive divider doesn't work
79
80- no clear indication of whether capacitative divider causes interferences.
81  Marked difference in one series of tests but the others look the same.
82
83- reception level is about 4 dB above workable minimum. (Specified receiver
84  sensitivity is -101 dBm, but things start to deteriorate around -90 dBm.)
85  We have a reserve of 3.2 dB for transmission (used -0.2 dBm, maximum is
86  +3.0 dBm).
