  • Patent number: 11965922
    Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus for automatic alarm management in a radio-frequency (RF) environment are disclosed. An apparatus calculates a power distribution by frequency of the RF environment in real time or near real time, including a first derivative and a second derivative of FFT data of the RF environment. The apparatus then creates a baseline based on the power distribution by frequency of the RF environment in a period of time, identifies at least one alarm situation based on a multiplicity of alarm triggering conditions by comparing the power distribution in real time or near real time to the baseline of the RF environment, identifies at least one signal based on the first derivative and the second derivative of FFT data in the at least one alarm situation, and sends at least one alarm comprising details of the at least one signal identified in the at least one alarm situation.
