Thanks.
What is the deviation between the result calculate by the
formula and the result measured by the calibration source for the USRP
N210? For example,when I ues the formula:10*log10(var(x))+30 to calculate
the power of the receiver data is -20dbm.What is the true range for the
true result?
Thanks.
