RF spectrum occupancy measurement calculator

Calculate time and occupied bandwidth and occupied time-frequency fraction with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use time and occupied bandwidth and occupied time-frequency fraction to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Time and occupied bandwidth (Hz)

Count occupied frequency bins at each sampled time × bin width.

Occupied time-frequency fraction

Occupied bins / all provided bins; missing bins are not inferred.

Symbols and units
a
JSON rows [time seconds,frequency Hz,power dBm]
b
Occupied threshold (dBm)
c
Frequency bin width (Hz)

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Time-frequency power bins, chosen thresholds. Returns Occupied bandwidth and duty statistics. All coefficients and observations are user supplied; results describe only the stated mathematical model. Quantities are deterministic calculations from supplied observations and assumptions; no external data is fetched. Supported limits: Finite inputs only; numeric fields bounded as labelled. Lists and JSON records are limited to 256 entries unless a stricter tool bound is stated. No automatic design approval, legal conclusion, treatment recommendation or safety certification. Occupied threshold (dBm): minimum None, maximum 1000000000000.0. Frequency bin width (Hz): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0.
