N210 + SBX High peaks at center frequency

Hi list,

I’m using a N210 + SBX daughterboard (vert 2450 antenna). Currently I’m
using the “uhd_fft” to check the spectrum at all wifi channels. Strange
is
that a peak with almost 0dB appears in every frequency I try.

Also, I changed the code from usrp_spectrum_sensing to output the sum of
the
mag_square of the FFT and the output is always like:

freq = 2900000000.000000, energy = 16689.216661

freq = 2900000000.000000, energy = 0.000226

A high value decreses until near zero and then a high value appears
again.

Any suggestion of what I’m doing wrong ?

One more thing: the FFT in the “uhd_fft” is mirrored around the central
frequency.

I attached an image of the output of the uhd_fft program. Any frequency
that
I try give the same output.
