RSSI test

A project log for Cell Phone 4G LTE Repeater / Booster / Femtocell

An outside pole mounted aerial picks up 4G signals which are then filtered, amplified and re-transmitted through a second inside aerial.

The RSSI was inserted after the LNA circuit and the antenna was moved in and out of a Faraday cage. The voltage recorded varied between 1.6 and 1.3 volts. I would have expected it to be about 2.1 volts inside the cage after looking at the datasheet for the RSSI.
