Hi all,
I am extending a micaz software emulator to support CC2420 and testing
it with tinyos-2.x.
When dealing with the Output Power Levels that cc2420 support in the
TXCTRL.PA_LEVEL register, I found the problem that in data sheet they
don't indicate all dBm values for the different 32 values, the only
indicate the following:
PA_LEVEL Pow (dBm)
31 0
27 -1
23 -3
19 -5
15 -7
11 -10
7 -15
3 -25
However using the cc2420 driver of tinyos-2.x I can set 32 different
values, so I would like to know what happend if somebody set a for
example PA_LEVEL = 21, which Pow(dBm) value should give the cc2420
radiochip? anybody has the completely correspondence between levels and
dBm? or even much better a equation to calculate them?
Any help would be appreciated,
