Spectrum Measurement Network Based on Labview

Abstract:

With the development of wireless application, radio spectrum management and monitoring become a hot spot. In this paper, a spectrum measurement method based on Labview is proposed and implemented. Based on this experimental network, radio spectrum of 20-3000MHz frequency band is measured with horizontal and vertical polarizations. This network possesses the characteristics of good compatibility, openness, and ease of implementation. It has a potential application for next generation of radio monitoring network.
