Hi Activecat, I still don't understand; do you really just want a offline data periodogram? In that case, have a look at the python matplotlib library examples. Also, Martin's and Lou's statements still stand: just by labeling an axis dBm doesn't make the data actually represent that physical

Equivalent function here, which could be encapsulated into a GR block if you don't need speed: http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy-dev/reference/generated/scipy.signal.periodogram.html I suppose it boils down to the difference between an FFT just normalized to bandwidth, and the FFT of the

Dear Sirs, Thanks for the answers. Let me further elaborate. I could get what I want using Matlab, via below steps: 1). Using GRC flowgraph, connect the USRP Source to a File Sink. 2). Copy the file (says, test02.dat) to a PC running Matlab. 3). Using Matlab, run these commands: a). c

The gr-specest toolbox has all sorts of spectrum estimation algorithms, but they also don't calibrate your device. A periodogram would be in there, called 'welch'. M On 06.03.2015 05:54, Activecat wrote: Dear Sirs, Thanks for the answers. Let me further elaborate. I could get what I want

Activecat, this is actually on our FAQ: http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/FAQ#How-do-I-know-the-exact-voltagepower-of-my-received-input-signal This is a very difficult problem to solve and it requires expensive lab equipment. Regards, Martin On 04.03.2015 23:43, Activecat

Do you mean adding a text label on the vertical axis, or scaling the spectrum? For the latter, you would have to feed the USRP a known (calibrated) noise source that is well above the USRP noise floor such as an HP 346 noise source. Then read the value from the spectrum and just re-scale the

Dear Sir, I am using USRP to receive signal, and then plot the signal using WX GUI FFT Sink. I hope to get the vertical axis as Power Spectral Density in dBm/Hz. Is there any way to do that? Regards. ___ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list
