10 Antenna Diversity
10.1 Introduction
Antenna diversity is a feature which enables the automatic selection of the antennas which is needed to be use. The
antenna on which the packets with better RSSI values are received is selected. The RSSI monitoring happens
continuously. Once it is enabled, this feature will persist for the entire duration of operation.
10.2 Configuration
The steps described in this section are used to start the antenna diversity feature in Client mode only. Once it is
enabled, the antenna selection happens automatically:
1. Open the common_insert.sh file present in the “release” folder.
2. Ensure that the variable RSI_ANTENNA_DIVERSITY is set as given below:
RSI_ANTENNA_DIVERSITY=1
When Antenna Diversity is enabled, User has to make sure that external antenna is connected to the
module. Without connecting the external antenna the behavior may be unspecified
