Register 0x06 (PHY_RSSI)
The PHY_RSSI register is a multi purpose register to indicate the current received
signal strength (RSSI) and the FCS validity of a received frame.
• Bit 7 – RX_CRC_VALID
This register bit indicates whether a received frame has a valid FCS. The register bit is
updated when issuing the TRX_END interrupt remains valid until the next TRX_END
interrupt caused by a new frame reception.

• Bit [6:5] – Reserved
• Bit [4:0] – RSSI
Refer to section 8.4.4.
The main features for the Energy Detection module are:
• 85 unique energy levels defined
• 1 dB resolution
The receiver Energy Detection measurement is used by a network layer as part of a
channel selection algorithm. It is an estimation of the received signal power within the
bandwidth of an IEEE 802.15.4-2003 channel. No attempt is made to identify or decode
signals on the channel. The ED value is calculated by averaging RSSI values over eight
symbols (128 µs).
There are two ways implemented in the AT86RF230 to initiate an ED measurement:
• Manually, by a write access to register 0x07 (PHY_ED_LEVEL), or
• Automatically, by detecting a valid SFD of an incoming frame.
For manually initiated ED measurement the radio transceiver needs to be in one of the
states RX_ON or BUSY_RX. An automated ED measurement is started, if a SFD field
is detected. A valid SFD detection is signalized by an RX_START interrupt in Basic
Operating Mode.
