Measured Output Power

The RF output power of the Telos module from the CC2420 radio is shown in Figure 9. For this
test, the Telos module is transmitting at 2.405GHz (IEEE 802.15.4 channel 11) using the O-
QPSK modulation with DSSS. The CC2420 programmed output power is set to 0 dBm. The
measured output power of the entire modulated spectrum is 2.4 dBm.
