Hi Ahmed,
You will need to use a calibrated rf source to compare your USRP N210 SDR
receiver against and adjust the power_db result (without subtracting the
noise floor result from it) to match. I assume it will be a simple case of
adding or subtracting 'X' db's to the power_db result for each cal
Hi Ahmed,
Dividing the bin power by the sample rate in the calculation for
noise_floor_db and power_db (lines 286 and 287 of

was done so that the power level stays constant if the sample rate is
increased.
Hi Mike,
Thank you for your reply.
So what if I want to sense with the sensing threshold set by the FCC for
white spaces at -114 dBm or -107 dBm. How does the value of "power_db"
relates to the value I should compare against given the FCC thresholds ?
Kind regards,
Ahmed Saeed.
