I understand the OP question. And Brian gave a pretty good explanation on how to do it.. If I may add my grain of salt, it would be Wise to ‘zoom’ to a part of the scanned Spectrum based on a peek that have a minimum amplitude. If not the software would jump all over the place Inside the scanne

Never having used hackrf_sweep, this may be a stupid question. Is there a peak find/hold function? That may, if the span is narrow enough to eliminate strong signals of no interest, be what is sought after. Then, perhaps, one could write a simple block, that tied into the peak find, that woul

Hi Matteo, I think I understand what you're looking for. You want to transmit a signal, e.g. keyfob, and have the HackRF automatically show you the frequency that it's transmitting on. You could use HackRF in a spectrum analyzer mode, such as hackrf_sweep, to see where the transmission is and th

​Hi Dominic, What I'm trying to do is: ​- I want to acquire a signal from a general device ( garage door opener remote control, rf car's key etc). So I don't know the real value of the signal (2Hz or 40GHz). Is the hackrf able to set itself on the right value of frequency and let me know the result
