Hi all,
I am trying to transmit and receive a simple 10 kHz tone using a
single USRP B205mini-i. The input power is 0 dbm ( The amplitude of
10kHz tone being 45mV). The transmitting and receiver antenna are same
omnidirectional type each having 3 dbi gain. I set the transmitter
gain as 8 and receiver gain as 70. The carrier frequency is around 800
MHz. The path loss comes to around 20 db considering the fact that
transmitting and receiving antenna are just a foot apart. ( I took far
field and did not consider near field)
The received spectrum shows -26 dbm. How should I interpret these results?

Nirmala
How did you get -26dBm?
Unless you have painstakingly *calibrated* your USRP B205mini, and wrote
code that converts the received data into dBm, given your carefully-derived
calibration tables, an FFT will simply show received power relative
to the mathematical maximum in the system.
Further, given that modulating signals in the SDR world are purely
digital number, how did you derive a figure of 45mV of modulation?
