The ITPSDFINAL log contains the samples for the spectral analysis. The rate and size is set by the update period and the FFT size respectively when issuing the ITSPECTRALANALYSIS command.

PSD samples are compressed into 2 byte samples to reduce log sizes. The range of values that can be displayed is -200 dBm to +56 dBm with a 1/256 resolution. The following steps should be performed on the PSD samples in this log to convert them back into dBm units for display purposes:

  1. Divide the sample by 256.0

  2. Subtract 200

The number of samples are calculated according to the following table. The maximum number of samples in one ITPSDFINAL log is 1024. That means if the number of samples is less than 1024, one log is enough to output them. However, if the number of samples is larger than 1024, more than one ITPSDFINAL log is needed. For example, in postdecimation mode with the FFT size of 8K and subcarrier integration of 5, there is one log with 1024 samples and another log with 614 samples. The output logs can be grouped together through the sequence number of the log header.

POSTDECIMATION

POSTFILTER

FFTsize/subcarrier_integration

As the data rate for the ITPSDFINAL log is dictated by the updateperiod parameter in the ITSPECTRALANALYSIS command, do not use ONTIME or ONCE to log this message. Instead use ONNEW to log ITPSDFINAL.

The pre-decimation spectrum shows the absolute power in dBm which is proportional to the resolution bandwidth (RBW). The post-decimation and post-filter spectrum shows the signal magnitude in relative power (dB).

To view the samples for the spectral analysis for the secondary antenna of dual antenna receivers (OEM7720, PwrPak7D, PwrPak7D-E1, PwrPak7D-E2 and CPT7), log ITPSDFINAL_1.
