Is there any news on the Spectrum Analyzer progress?
One thing I was interested in is the ability to use the MIMO capability to permit spectrum comparisons
Any news would be very much appreciated also I am wanting to use this on either Windows or on a Mac under 10.10

Re: Spectrum analyzer Updates ?
I hope that there would be Spectrum analyzer functionality on BladeRF. I'm not sure if there are existing tool to drive the central frequency to swing the 28Mhz spanning bandwidth quickly. SDR Console has limitation on the spanning BW.
If anyone can share any GUI to assist in using BaldeRF as spectrum analyzer would be great.
I'm looking to control VBW, RBW, Spanning beyong 28MHz.
Thanks

Re: Spectrum analyzer Updates ?
Hi,
I was wondering about the spectrum analyzer and was wondering if trying to duplicate a embedded spectrum analyzer is really the best way to go. Especially with something like a Raspberry PI which has limited processing ability.
I would personally like a spectrum analyzer but the existing commercial solutions are very, very expensive. I just happen to have a few BladeRF x40s and was wondering if a very simple solution to this wouldn't be to tether multiple bladeRF's together and synchronize the clocks in them. Then assign a different bladeRF to different sections of the spectrum. Yes I know this is very expensive, but commercial solutions can be 10s of thousands of dollars...
Also, I was wondering if anybody has had any success connecting a bladeRF to a PC with a connection method other then USB. USB is really, really cool but it has some limitations. I'm wondering if something like PCI express wouldn't be an interesting way to connect up a bladeRF. The FPGA in these devices are very flexible, so except for getting a decent number of I/O pins broken out and getting adapter circuit boards made that can fit inside a PCI express slot, I don't see any major roadblocks.
Essentially, I just wondering if a PC based solution would be a great way to go here.
Thoughts/Comments... Maybe I'm just doing model glue or something...
