Werner Almesberger b32827dc7e Oops. The atusb boards are of course 20100813. 20100902 was the first
(failed) attempt to make an atusd board.

Signal strength tests. "Local" devices are on lab bench, about 5 cm apart.
"Distant" device is in the adjacent room, separated by one thin brick wall
and 4 m of air.
TX is requested 0 dBm (effectively -0.2 dBm). Transmission is without
CSMA-CA and ARQ. Results are LQI and ED (dBm). "garbled" is a bad CRC and
corrupted frame content. "-" is no reception.

Conclusions
-----------
- 20100813 (atusb) and 20100908 (atusd) board show similar performance when
at least one station is an atusb
- resistive divider doesn't work
- no clear indication of whether capacitative divider causes interferences.
Marked difference in one series of tests but the others look the same.
- reception level is about 4 dB above workable minimum. (Specified receiver
sensitivity is -101 dBm, but things start to deteriorate around -90 dBm.)
We have a reserve of 3.2 dB for transmission (used -0.2 dBm, maximum is
+3.0 dBm).
