QSpectrumAnalyzer is a PyQtGraph-based GUI spectrum analyzer for software-defined radio devices. It wraps multiple measurement backends such as soapy_power, hackrf_sweep, rtl_power, rtl_power_fftw, and rx_power to visualize RF spectra.

Use cases

  • visualize RF spectrum from an RTL-SDR dongle
  • wideband spectrum monitoring with HackRF sweep mode
  • near real-time spectrum measurement with soapy_power
  • compare signal strength across frequency bands
  • analyze interference in the 2.4 GHz band
  • capture FFT waterfall plots from SDR hardware

When to choose

  • you have an SDR device (RTL-SDR, HackRF, Airspy, LimeSDR, etc.) and want a ready-made GUI spectrum analyzer
  • you want a single tool that supports multiple SDR backends
  • you need wideband sweeping with hackrf_sweep

When to avoid

  • you need a headless or scriptable spectrum measurement pipeline
  • you require real-time demodulation or audio listening rather than spectrum visualization
  • you need a web-based or remote spectrum analyzer
