Lecture
This lecture provides an overview of the wireless spectrum, covering the electromagnetic spectrum's range of frequencies and wavelengths, the frequency allocation for radio communications, spectrum regulations to avoid collisions, and the basics of using a spectrum analyzer to analyze the radio frequency spectrum. The instructor explains the importance of high resolution in spectrum analysis, the use of a digital spectrum analyzer, and the practical aspects of setting up and using a spectrum analyzer for monitoring and analyzing signals. The lecture also delves into the LabView software for spectrum analysis and the practical aspects of configuring and controlling Universal Software Radio Peripherals (USRPs) for spectral monitoring.
