5.3.1.4 Set RF Output Power (SGA,<0-8>/SGC,<0-8>)

Format: SGA,<0-8>/SGC,<0-8>

Command SGA and SGC adjust the output power of the RNBD451 module under advertisement and connected state, respectively. The input parameter is an eight-bit hexadecimal value, whose unit is dBm, assigned to the RF TX output power. The valid output power is from -25(0xE7) dBm to 15(0x0F) dBm. The following table provides details about the approximate output power (in dBm) for each parameter value. There can be a variation in output power based on the individual calibration of the module and the enclosure where the module is placed.

Default:0A(SGA), 0F(SGC)
Example:SGA,01// Set advertisement RF output power to 1 dBm
SGC,FF// Set connection RF output power to -1 dBm
SGA,E7// Set advertisement RF output power to lowest
Response:AOK// Success
Err// Syntax error or invalid parameter
Note:
  • The PDS stores these parameters. The parameters are effective immediately. The baseband can re-assign the setting if the setting does not match the range from baseband.
  • The set output power value in this command is Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) of the module, in other words, RF power from the device (upto 12 dBm) + antenna gain (3dBi) antenna gain.
