Thank you Johnathan!

What makes it strange is the dependence on gain.when the linear gain in 
the spectrum panel(usrp_fft.py)is set to 0,the signal at the center(the 
DC)is 5dB higher than the noise level.When I increase the gain, the 
difference between the DC and noise level keeps decreasing and finally 
the DC level is equal to the noise level.
Specifically, for a linear gain >=20, the signal around DC is not 
visible(it is equal to the noise level).

is this gain dependence normal?
