PS: the fact that reducing by 10 the number of samples in the FFT rises the noise level by 10 dB definitely hints at dB/Hz rather than dB as Y-axis unit. JM This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

Shouldn't my aliasing experiment raise the noise floor rather than keep it constant ? By taking only every 10th sample, you also reduce the sample rate by a factor of 10. So you have the same power in 1/10th of the original bandwidth. In other words, noise power per Hz has increased by a factor

Hi Martin, ah, yeah, can see that. We couldn't (and really, shouldn't) abuse a GSoC student to do e.g. server maintenance, either, so yeah, infrastructure is a dangerous area. I think that extending the newmod template to hold the packaging scripts, write those and write a tool to initiate local

2017-10-15 Thread Marcus Müller
Hi Jean-Michel, So, what I see in your flow graph is that you have a (real signal, let's talk about single-sided bandwidth) ca 13kHz wide piece of noise in your 16 kHz bandwidth – or, to put it so that I can forget about the absolute (nominal) sampling rate totally, 13/16 of your band is noise

[Discuss-gnuradio] FFT normalization issue: noise aliasing

2017-10-15 Thread Jean-Michel FRIEDT
I want to demonstrate how aliasing rises the noise level upon decimation. I have a trivial flow graph with a noise source, whose bandpass I limit to make sure I know its spectral characteristics, and I compare the spectral power with and without decimation. The decimation FIR is 1 so I believe
