Sdr spectrum noise floor running the numbers.
Sdr noise floor.
First i would like to preface this article by saying that gr limesuite and the limesdr drivers are updated fairly regularly.
The better shielded coax may be attenuating high power higher frequency signals e g.
Some of the issues that i have encountered in the past have been remedied by recent updates.
The better shielded coax may masking a bigger problem with the overall system.
Ultimately your thermal noise is dependent on what you put in front of a rtl sdr.

In this blog i will describe how i measured the nf the.
I ran two receivers rsp2 and perseus side by side sharing the same antenna on the same frequency.
With the rtl sdr having an 8 bit adc you hit sampling noise pretty quickly.
Unless you put an lna in front of it.
Vhf fm broadcast outside the band of interest which is hf 30mhz.
He saw the screen shots and pointed out that high noise level.

He said that i may have an issue with the rsp.
I ve checked my connections and they seem to be ok.
It should like any other receiver have a certain noise floor nf but this figure was hard to find on the internet so that i decided to measure it myself.
The sdr that i use next to my transceiver is the airspy spyverter combination.
A few weeks previously a reasonable logic was implemented for measuring the noise floor.
First i measured noise using cw mode with a 100 hz bandwidth.
Sawbird lna nooelec nesdr smartee sdr 0 90001 msps.
Purists will not be happy they rarely are but it works for me.
I actually emailed dennis at bonito.
That s actually the more likely the noise that most people see than thermal noise.

Any ideas on what may be causing this bouncing and how i can minimise it.
Take the output from the sdr radio ignore 15 of the bandwidth at the high and low end of the output to avoid the ant alias filtering and we re left with a healthy 70 of the.

Again the noise floor on the sdr is around 70db and i did just as well or better with one of those bnc connected accessory wires that come with many sw radios.
