Systems, methods, and devices for electronic spectrum management

摘要

Systems, methods, and devices enable spectrum management by identifying, classifying, and cataloging signals of interest based on radio frequency measurements. In an embodiment, signals and the parameters of the signals may be identified and indications of available frequencies may be presented to a user. In another embodiment, the protocols of signals may also be identified. In a further embodiment, the modulation of signals, data types carried by the signals, and estimated signal origins may be identified.

主权项

1. A system for identifying at least one signal of interest comprising:
at least one device operable to sense, measure and analyze the at least one signal of interest, thereby creating signal data; the at least one device operable to compare the signal data with stored data to identify the at least one signal of interest; the at least one device operable to calculate signal degradation data for the at least one signal of interest based on information associated with the at least one signal of interest in a static database including noise figure parameters of a transmitter outputting the signal of interest, hardware parameters, and environment parameters; the at least one device operable to communicate at least a portion of the signal data, the stored data, the signal degradation data, and/or the identification of the at least one signal of interest over a network to at least one remote device; wherein the signal degradation data are values for free space losses of the at least one signal of interest.
