1. Path Loss Model, RSSI and RF Parameters A, n
To determine the distance from the RSSI values, Chipcon applies a simple path loss model (free space path loss自由空间损耗) shown in ?gure 2.3 and equation (2.1). The location engine requires, in addition to the RSSI value two RF model parameters, A and n which are discussed in this section.
