Line 6:
RSSI is usually invisible to a user of a receiving device. However, because signal strength can vary greatly and affect functionality in [[Wireless LAN|wireless networking]], [[IEEE 802.11]] devices often make the measurement available to users.
 
RSSI is often derived in the [[intermediate frequency]] (IF) stage before the IF amplifier. In [[Direct-conversion receiver|zero-IF systems]], it is derived in the baseband signal chain, before the baseband amplifier. RSSI output is often a DC analog level. It can also be sampled by an internal [[analog-to-digital converter]] (ADC) and the resulting codescode is available directly or via peripheral or internal processor bus.
