It should like any other receiver have a certain noise floor nf but this figure was hard to find on the internet so that i decided to measure it myself.
Sdr noise floor.
Unless you put an lna in front of it.
Sdr spectrum noise floor running the numbers.
Ultimately your thermal noise is dependent on what you put in front of a rtl sdr.
The sdr that i use next to my transceiver is the airspy spyverter combination.
Again the noise floor on the sdr is around 70db and i did just as well or better with one of those bnc connected accessory wires that come with many sw radios.

When recording a pass of noaa 18 i noticed that the noise floor was bouncing up and down causing lines on the image.
I ve checked my connections and they seem to be ok.
He saw the screen shots and pointed out that high noise level.
I ran two receivers rsp2 and perseus side by side sharing the same antenna on the same frequency.
Entering the noise floor.
Purists will not be happy they rarely are but it works for me.

Take the output from the sdr radio ignore 15 of the bandwidth at the high and low end of the output to avoid the ant alias filtering and we re left with a healthy 70 of the.
With the rtl sdr having an 8 bit adc you hit sampling noise pretty quickly.
I actually emailed dennis at bonito.
A few weeks previously a reasonable logic was implemented for measuring the noise floor.
Any ideas on what may be causing this bouncing and how i can minimise it.

That s actually the more likely the noise that most people see than thermal noise.
The better shielded coax may be attenuating high power higher frequency signals e g.
My objective was to calculate sdr spectrum noise floor from first principles using the above formula.
He said that i may have an issue with the rsp.
First i measured noise using cw mode with a 100 hz bandwidth.
