Description

What would you like to know?

I am a beginner at SDR. I have new HackRF One running 2022.09.01 firmware. The following spectrum from the UHF L-Band is essentially from

hackrf_sweep -a 0 -l 16 -g 16 -f 1220:1250 -w 40000 -N5000

UHF-LBand

There are a number of signal peaks here. For example, the small one about 1227MHz, in the middle of the first trough, which I assume is a GPS signal.

I have two questions:

  1. Why does the spectrum have those two unlikely looking troughs?

  2. Why do I not see these troughs nor the big peak at 1225MHz when I use Gnuradio Companion to examine the spectrum around these frequencies? That is, using an Osmocom Source (20M sample rate, centre frequency at say 1226Mhz, bandwidth 40kHz) piped into a Frequency Sink.)

Is this something to do with the hardware configuration?
