Just curious, but if my Surface was the cause of the problem and I always used 
the same set-up for the Wi-Spy, wouldn’t I always see this signature? This is 
something that seems to occur quite randomly so far.

Try putting your laptop in airplane mode.  My guess is the SpecAn is in very 
close proximity to the laptop.  That horizontal slope indicates the wispy is 
VERY close to a wifi device (aka your surface).  That's why it looks like OFDM, 
because it is.  Getting your wispy close to an AP will look the same.

Nope, the spectrum analyzer is going directly into a Surface Pro 2.

Are you using a USB 3.0 hub?

I’ve seen something similar when running some of the older Cisco controllers. 
If you ruled out everything else and are starting to look for devices causing 
interference I'd check out some of your wireless mic systems. We had some 
800Mhz that we had to salvage that were causing harmonic distortion on 2.4GHZ 
similar to this on the lower channels.

Hi Everyone,

I’ve been doing a little spectrum analysis around campus and I keep seeing the 
same interference signature in different buildings. I was wondering if anyone 
had seen anything like this before. It is typically visible for well over 10 
minutes at a time and then it completely disappears.

Thanks

Sean
