I need to do a spectrum analysis of AC line noise. I am not sure what type of equipment to use to perform these measurements.
Problem I am having is I have line noise coming from my power lines into my house. This noise is very noticeable on ham radio equipment , as well as cb radio, and stereo equipment. The noise seems to be repeating at every 30khz interval. Can I perform this analysis using Labview and some constructed circuits along with my NI data acquisition card which is a PCI-6040. The Pci-6040 can do 500 kS/s for a single channel. I want to be able to present the measurements to the power company. They already came to my property but would not do anything even after I verified that the problem is on their end by having them pull my meter from the house. I then turned on a radio outside the house and stood by the power lines and still had very strong noise interference coming from the power lines. I don't want to spend the money on a spectrum Analyzer just to do a test so I was thinking Labview might be able to do this with my Daq card. Could it be done?
Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated.
