Hi Suman,

be careful with "use instantly": Well, what you're doing is channel
sounding, and as such, the results are up to your interpretation – for
example, in the 100 MHz (!) wide channel you're testing, what coherency
times do you expect from your environment? That is the time a single
channel impulse response is valid. Basically, how fast do the paths the
signal can take change, e.g. by movement of reflecting objects, or
absorbing (human, for example) bodies, or the transmitter or receiver?
With a 100 MHz overall observation bandwidth, you'd get a spatial
resolution of ~1.5m; so, if this is, for example, a room where people
move, this is the time where noone moves out of their position by any
significant amount of distance; that might be in the order of seconds.
If this is a channel between to moving cars, more like milliseconds.

Another aspect: I assume you're doing this with COTS SDR devices. These
typically are *not* calibrated devices, so you'll have to figure out a
way to remove the effect that your devices (from the DAC over the
filters, mixers, amplifiers, cables, antennas, to the ADC and DSP) from
your measurement.

So, if you get data, don't forget that it's not a sufficient description
of the world, unless you understand the model of the world you're using.

That being said: Haven't tried it in ages, but gr-channelsounder[1]
sounds a bit like what you're looking for.

Best regards,
Marcus
