Dear all,

I checked your latest submission of "usrp_spectrum_sense.py" and I don't understand why there is a division of the value of each bin by the sampling rate. Also I don't understand why there is a  subtraction of the noise floor from the power db value to calculate an actual db value.

Kindly explain those modifications. 

I am working with a USRP N210 and when I run uhd_fft to display an analog TV channel I get values around -60's db for the central frequencies of both the audio and video signals. When I used the latest version of "usrp_spectrum_sense.py", I got positive values for power_db and when I removed the deduction of the noise floor, I got readings almost near the noise floor for all bins (including the ones at the central frequency of the audio and video signals). I hope you can point me to the right direction and correct my misunderstanding of the code.

Thank you for your time.

Kind regards,
Ahmed Saeed.
