Short summary
With the increasing amount of mobile communication, special care has to be taken to avoid collision on wireless channels. The received power in the desired band is an indicator for the utilization of this frequency range. On a receiver several ways of detecting a Received Signal Strength Indicator are available, but don't necessarily fulfill efficiency or precision requirements. Therefore, this work presents a digital implementation which is both energy efficient and precise enough.
