Re: GRC FFT Plot

Actually, you were right at first madengr. My transmitter is USRP1 with
WBX
50-2200 while my receiver is USRP N200 with TVRX2 and spectrum analyzer.
Can you give me suggestions on how I can match the amplitude on both the
spectrum analyzer and the USRP’s? Attached is a screenshot of my
experiment
on our lab.

Using just the GRC Signal Source and Noise Source, I was able to display
the desired power amplitude in dBW with less than 10 dB loss by varying
the
amplitude of each block. For the Signal Source block, the amplitude was
6.31 exp -8 (-144 dBW). For the Noise Source block, the amplitude was 2
exp
-8 (-154 dBW). GRC FFT produces -137 dB and -159 dB respectively.
Therefore
I can say that these dB values in the FFT plot are in dBW.

Same procedure I outlined before. You need to feed a CW tone (via
cable)
directly into the USRP and spectrum analyzer, compare spectrum
amplitudes,
and multiply the USRP samples by 10**(offset_dB/20.0). Noise or a
modulated
signal makes things more difficult since spectrum analyzer must be put
in
noise marker mode. Just use a CW tone.
