A method and apparatus for detecting the presence of a signal in a frequency band using non-uniform sampling includes an analog to digital converter (ADC) (110) for sampling an analog input signal (105) to create discrete signal samples (115), an ADC exciter (120) for exciting the ADC to sample at non-uniform time periods, a digital filter (130) for converting the discrete signal samples into an energy versus frequency spectrum (300), and an energy comparator (140) coupled to an output of the digital filter. The energy comparator (140) detects the presence of any frequency bands exceeding an energy setpoint. |
