Well if you're sensing a 40 MHz band you have to retune. The largest band you can sense without retuning is about 25 MHz. Also I would try higher FFT sizes, like 1024, 2048, or 4096. Watch your CPU load when you run your script, your processor probably isn't slowing you down even with large FFT

Changing the fft size won't change your sensing time that much unless the machine you're using is really slow or the fft size is outrageous. What fft sizes are you using? What will affect your sensing time more is the sampling/decimation rate you sent, the tune delay, and the dwell delay. Be

Thank you for replying. I have already tried different fft size (256, 128, 32, etc) but as you said it did not change my sensing time. I also change my decimation but no luck too. I intend to sense a broad band, say, 20M or 40M. But it seems this script costs too much time working. Should I

Hi all, I am working on the implementation of dynamic spectrum access with gnuradio and usrp2. I modified usrp_spectrum_sense for usrp2 to do the sensing job. However, I find the sensing speed is intolerably slow, which is about 1s for 1MHz. I try to reduce the fft size but no significant
