Hi!
I need help to modify the usrp_fft.py file to show the spectrum of a
input
range (for example from 2.3GHz to 2.9GHz)
santi, such a wide frequency range is not possible due to limitations
in the bandwidth between the usrp and the host
currently you give usrp_fft a center frequency and a decimation rate,
and from that it calculates the start and end frequencies…

Yes, but I think we can take the spectrum of every 8MHz band and put it
into
the computer so it can memorize and show it.
Sorry for my english…

See usrp_spectrum_sense.py, it implements this technique to scan the
entire spectrum available to each USRP daughter board.

Yes, OR, you can wait for me to write a detailed explanation (may be in
two
weeks) about “usrp_spectrum_sense.py”.
I think the understanding of this program is very important to every
gnuradio user (practical FFT implementation + FSM control in its cpp
code
and weird Python commands in its .py!!!)
Best regards,
Firas

Firas,
have to written a detailed explanation about “usrp_spectrum_sense.py” ?
I
am unable to find it. Please let us know the link for the same…

Hello
I wonder someone can help me out. While testing this code, the media
with the different size of fft shows different value. I would like to
know how I can get the same media value regardless of using different
fft size.
Thanks,

Hi everybody!
I have modified usrp_spectrum_sense.py to plot the results with gnuplot.
There are two files: widespectrum.py and plot.p
I would like everybody to test it and report me the errors and how can I
improve it.
I’ve used USRPv1 + Flex2400.
Thanks in advance!
Here it goes…
