To whom it may concern: While I mostly concur with Marcus's response, I would like to note that maybe you can get away with a lower sampling rate (lower than the Nyquist rate) since you are working on spectrum sensing (not on decoding the full WiFi signal).
Actual sampling rate needed by your application will depend on the spectrum sensing algorithm and various performance factors that you want to use.

I know that a single WiFi channel has a bandwidth of 20-22 MHz. So should I use the sample rate in GNU radio block to 40e6 - 44e6 or can I use a lower value? Can I use 1e6 as sampling rate? What is the lower bound for the sample rate in GNU block? I am confused about giving the sample rate. J. Varghese A couple of different issues here: GnuRadio *generally* deals with *complex samples*. Complex sampling satisfies the Nyquist Sampling Criterion in a way that allows you to run those samples at a rate == bandwidth (more or less). Gnu Radio doesn't care, per se, about sample rates, and will pass your request on to the underlying *HARDWARE*. The hardware will, most definitely have limits and policies with respect to sample rate, and to answer the question "what sample rates are allowed" you need to refer to the hardware you're using. If you don't understand what the Nyquist Sampling Criterion is, you should definitely spend some time researching that, and how it relates to the kinds of things you might be wanting to do with samples, and why 1e6 is not an appropriate sampling rate for a signal with an information bandwidth of 22MHz.
