I'm using the Wifi Analyzer app on my phone a lot at the moment as I need to set up and test some wireless networks. For people unfamiliar with the app, i've posted some screenshots of the app that I found on the internet.

I'm looking for some software that will do the same or similar thing, but on a PC. I've looked on Google, but could not find anything of use.

there's a few - inSSIDer is what i prefer - though i often use meraki's wifi stumber at client's systems wifi stumbler seems to have been EOLed - something about it written in java IIRC.

For linux linssd is a very similar application that seems to work alright
