RSSI
In Figure 22, the RSSI versus RF Input Level shows the linear
response of RSSI over a 65 dB range but it has extended capability
over 80 dB from –80 dBm to +10 dBm. The RSSI is measured in
the application circuit (Figure 12) in which a SAW filter is used
before the mixer; thus, the overall sensitivity is traded off for the
sake of selectivity. The curves are shown for three filters having
different bandwidths:
1) LCR Filter with 2.3 MHz 3.0 dBm BW (Circuit and
Component Placement is shown in Figure 12)
2) Series–Parallel Ceramic Filter with 650 kHz 3.0 dB BW
(Murata Part # KMFC - 545)
3) Ceramic Filter with 280 kHz 3.0 dB BW.

SINAD PERFORMANCE
Figure 24 shows a test setup for a narrowband demodulator output
response in which a C–message filter and an active de–emphasis
filter is used following the demodulator. The input is matched using
a 1:4 impedance transformer. The SINAD performance is shown in
Figure 25 with no preamp and in Figure 26 with a preamp
(Preamp–Figure 16). The 12 dB SINAD sensitivity is –101 dBm
with no preamp and –113 dBm with the preamp.
