Publication number: 20260121770Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2025Publication date: April 30, 2026Applicant: Distributed Spectrum Inc.Inventors: Alexander Wulff, Benjamin Harpe, Isaac Struhl

Publication number: 20260101211Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide improved techniques for detecting the presence of RF anomalies and providing for enhanced user control of RF anomaly detection and related actions. Some aspects relate to detecting an RF anomaly by determining, based on a multidimensional encoding of characteristics of an RF signal, that the RF signal is anomalous compared to a baseline of multidimensional encodings of characteristics of RF radiation received in the operating environment. Some aspects relate to controlling RF anomaly detection by initiating an action in response to selection of an option displayed to a user in a graphical user interface in along with an indication of an RF signal determined to be anomalous compared to a baseline. Some aspects relate to identifying a subset of RF data and determining a presence of an RF anomaly corresponding to the subset by comparing a representation of RF radiation to a baseline.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2025Publication date: April 9, 2026Applicant: Distributed Spectrum Inc.Inventors: Isaac Struhl, Alexander Wulff, Benjamin Harpe, Kalman Chapman, Samuel Wolfson, Eric Fernandez

Publication number: 20240348348Abstract: Described herein are RF systems and techniques for detecting the presence of and/or characterizing RF signals among RF radiation received by the system. In some embodiments, RF signal characterization may be achieved with high accuracy and low sensitivity while using low cost, scalable electronics that are versatile for deployment in a variety of environments, whether centralized, distributed, and/or vehicle-based. In some embodiments, underlying such systems and techniques are trained models that may be executed by a processor and configured to detect the presence of and/or characterize received RF signals. In some embodiments, received RF signals may be encoded into compact data structure representations that may be transmitted over low bandwidth links and/or processed using fewer computing resources than processing the underlying RF radiation data itself, facilitating deployment of distributed RF sensing systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2024Publication date: October 17, 2024Inventors: Benjamin Harpe, Alexander Wulff, Isaac Struhl, Samuel Wolfson, Kalman Chapman, Eric Fernandez
