Hi,
I want to measure the power.I'm now transmit the OFDM signal.
I use the usrp to receive data,and I save it to a file.I read all
the data.Then:
I use the formula to calculate the power:
10*log10(sum(abs(data).^2)/0.001) dbm
Is it the right way to calculate the power under the ofdm?
Thanks.
Best Regards,

Instantaneous signal power is proportional to:
(I**2)+(Q**2)
You can average that to whatever interval you want, and then scale
(perhaps converting into dB, as above). But to determine *absolute*
power at the antenna terminals you'll need a known calibration source
or two, and use that to come up with calibration constants for
your particular setup of frequency/gain/bandwidth/sample-rate.
