I apologize for the way it seems I'm relaying information. I will attempt to give you all new information with your perspective in mind.

I have two screenshots now, they have a fixed y-axis from 0 to -100 dB. The first is the graph that is displayed when there is no signal transmitted and the second is when there is one being transmitted. From the screenshots it is evident that the signal raises all of the graph's values, instead of where the signal is being transmitted. The receiving gain is set to 1. I deleted the bandwidth QT GUI Entry since my I did not know what it was doing. The receiver is is a USRP B200

The signal I am transmitting on the USRP 2921 is a simply square wave. the IQ rate is 100k, the antenna is a vert 2450 dual-band, it is set to 10 gain. It was transmitting in the same channel the B200 is receiving.

I just want to make sure we're headed in the right direction. I want to use a wide band spectrum sense graph

Excuse me, it was my mistake.
I sent it as an attachment, is that okay?

Hi Ashraf,

your mail is only 8.5kB large -- did you possibly forgot to include links to the images?

Best regards,

Thank you for replying.
I included some screenshots of the program. One is of the block diagram and the other is of the graph itself.

I am generating a signal using a different device and program. having only one B200 has prompted me to use this method. I am using a NI USRP-2920 with lab view to generate a signal

Hi Ashraf,

If you've configured the USRP source correctly, you're very likely actually displaying the spectrum your digital receiver sees -- depending on the signal, you could a) actually be rising the power level in that whole band, or b) maybe you're observing something like saturation and hence intermodulation of additional signals.

You migth want to share what exactly you are observing, and what exactly the signal is you're generating. Screenshots are easy to make and to upload [1], so please illustrate a little better!

Best regards,
Marcus

Hello, the issue I am having is I cannot display a graph that shows a wide range of frequencies and their power. When I attempt it with the QT GUI Frequency in GRC, I get something similar to the one in this video (FFT plot) but then I transmit a signal in the range I am currently looking at and the whole line moves up. This leads me to believe that I am no displaying the whole range I desire, but in fact I am displaying the center frequency and a small bandwidth around it. I want to, for example, scan the 2.4 GHz range and see all of the channels and their power. And when I transmit at a certain frequency, I see a spike at the spot in the graph.

How do I create that graph?
