SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CLASSIFYING SIGNALS OCCURING IN A FREQUENCY BAND

摘要

A system and method for classifying signals occurring in a frequency band in which characteristics of signals in the frequency band are detected (3010) using a device that can generate characteristics of signal pulses detected in the frequency band. Data pertaining to the signal pulses is accumulated over time. The accumulated signal data (3030) associated with known signals. The accumulated data may include one or more characteristics selected from the group consisting of: pulse center frequency, pulse bandwidth, pulse duration, time between pulses and number of different active pulses, and wherein the reference data associated with each of a plurality of known signals comprises one or more characteristics selected from the group consisting of: pulse center frequency, pulse bandwidth, pulse duration and time between pulses. Depending on the degree of match with reference data, a signal can be classified (3050).
