Below are two images of the RF spectrum as received through a power coupler plugged into a wall socket in my office building. The first is DC-500MHz: http://gnuradio.org/data/power-line-500MHz.jpg The green line is the thermal noise floor in the RF bandwidth used (the measurement setup has a NF of about 9dB). There are no quiet parts of the spectrum, and many narrowband signals. FM radio stations are obvious around 100 MHz. The 125MHz spectral line and 100 MHz harmonics go away when I unplug a USRP N210 on the same power strip :-) A zoom of the first 50 MHz: http://gnuradio.org/data/power-line-50MHz.jpg It's pretty noisy all over.
