Abstract: An apparatus configured to assess health of electronic components in vehicles. This may be achieved by simply driving a vehicle into or through a physical device or over a physical device and determining the health of the vehicle. The apparatus may be comprised of a physical enclosure with antennas and a RF emission or other electromagnetic emission signature analyzer.

The apparatus may have an ultra-sensitive RF collection portion with a sensitivity preferably of at least ?150 dBm. The RF collection portion may measure bandwidths of at least 100 MHz and may have a frequency resolution of 1 Hz or better.
