System and method for radio frequency intrusion detection

摘要

A system to detect and analyze RF signals utilizes a data structure storing RF signatures indicating characteristics of known authorized and/or unauthorized RF transmissions. When an RF signal is detected, certain analysis characteristics are extracted from the RF signal and analyzed with respect to the stored RF signatures to determine whether the RF transmission is authorized or unauthorized. In the event of an unauthorized RF transmission, the system generates an alarm condition to alert the user to an RF intrusion and may further log data related to the intruder transmission. Known techniques may be used to determine the location of the RF intrusion within a defined area of operations.
