Is there a free software online? It is possible to create it (php, perl, ...) using some modules (rrdtool is a very good module but can't do this kind of graphics)? Goodbye Marco

Try using Microsoft Excel. �Just input the centre frequencies and bandwidths (symbol rates) and create a column of plot frequencies to form the X axis of a chart. �You can set carrier levels for the Y axis.

Here is an example I made up in 10 minutes:

Here is the Excel spreadsheet: https://www.satsig.net/spectrums/frequency-plan.xls

If you want more carriers just copy and paste the 2 x 5 box with the black border outline (which contains the calculation cells), further down the spreadsheet and input your extra carrier parameters on every 5th line.

Make further amendments as you wish to personalise your chart. FM carriers might be displayed as triangles for example. Then print out the chart or whatever.

Best regards, Eric.

I was studyng a solution using perl and geometric shapes (parabolas or gaussian) in order to use a mysql db to save all the carrier properties. Best Regards, Marco
