US Patent 10338118 System and methods for detecting and characterizing electromagnetic emissions

A system and method for detecting and identifying emitted electromagnetic signals, comprising wideband radio frequency sensors, at least one wide band radio frequency receiving antenna and accompanying electronics, a platform for hosting multiple antennas and sensor mounts, and processing algorithms for detection and identification of electromagnetic (EM) signals. Various algorithms and implementations are employed to detect and identify, over a wide frequency range, narrow or wide bandwidth EM signals having low signal levels, time-varying, and/or time-intermittent characteristics.
