PiAware devices (developed by FlightAware) receive and process Mode-S messages from aircraft. As a software engineer intern at FlightAware, I learned how to decode the messages processed by PiAware devices and retrieve their RSSI values. RSSI stands for Received Signal Strength Indicator and it indicates how strong a radio signal received by a wireless device is. The RSSI values developed by my function will generally range from 0 to -50 with 0 being the signal at its theoretical peak. The RSSI values returned will be relative to the maximum peak it can achieve and will be in terms of dBFS units.
