Use SDR for EMC testing - displat the emission peak table

[CBalatazar]

I need an SDR that allows me to display within the measuring range of the spectrum, in dBm peak values ​​of frequencies.

The purpose is to perform EMC measurements.

I wanted by Favro if anyone knows any way to display these values ​​with a HACKRF ONE.
Like what you can see with a spectrum analyzer, as shown in the following figure :

SDR for EMC measurements

I just retired from 34 years of EMC Compliance testing. I often thought
about SDR receivers for this purpose. About a year ago I did see one become available but
the pricing was high to the point a used spectrum analyzer made more sense.
Still, a small box and a laptop was pretty slick.

If your using it strickly for Engineering work it might be OK but for Accredited work
the one I did see did not meet the CISPR 16 standard required for appoval.

Who might know is Private Test labs who perfrom Accredited testing.

I understand that is so , but I require is to obtain the table with the list of frequencies and level.

Table of freqs

What was your price range. I seem to remember the one I was looking at for work was in the $3-5K
range. Acessories could be purchased too.

If you doing these measurements just to get a list of freqs I would think SDR-RTL with software could
get you the list. This again is I am assuming you are strickly engineering.
The $20 dollar SDR-RTL with Sharp and maybe a free plug in could get you that list.
If your transmitting on these freqs you might need to build in some attenuation in front of
the $20 dongle I mentioned. Also, are you placing the EUT (Equipment Under Test)
in a chamber to remove ambient.
