Abstract: The present disclosure provides radio-frequency (RF) systems that can detect the presence of RF signals received by the system, as well as determine characteristics such as the operating frequency of RF signals, the type of RF source that transmitted each RF signal, and/or the location of each RF source with high precision and sensitivity while using low cost, scalable electronics that are versatile enough for deployment in a variety of environments. Such systems can employ a network of RF sensors that can coordinate in response to communication with a computer to perform any such detection and/or determination using trained models executed onboard the RF sensors and/or the computer. RF signals may have unique characteristics when received at one or more RF sensors that may be detected using trained models described herein, even in high noise or non-line of sight (LOS) environments and with low cost, low resolution RF receiver hardware.

Abstract: A limited-function, low-power wakeup receiver is based on frequency shift keying (FSK), avoiding the inherent problems of AM demodulation such as non-linearity of the amplitude detector. The FSK detector is easily realized in the digital domain. Due to the time discrete nature of FSK signals, the detector has a periodic response in frequency, allowing the signal to be demodulated at different offsets from the center frequency. The relaxed accuracy demands on the local oscillator frequency avoid the need for a power-hungry phase locked loop (PLL) circuit. To avoid potential loss if a signal coincides with one of the regular sensitivity nulls, the network at least occasionally transmits an FSK wakeup signal at a slightly shifted frequency, so at least one of the FSK wakeup signals will be received. Transmitting multiple frequency-shifted signals improves the likelihood of reception.
