  • Patent number: 10416286
    Abstract: The present invention is a signal processing method to significantly improve the detection and identification of source emissions. More particularly, the present invention offers a processing method to reduce the false alarm rate of systems which remotely detect and identify the presence of electronic devices through an analysis of a received spectrum the devices' unintended emissions. The invention identifies candidate emission elements and determines their validity based on a frequency and phase association with other emissions present in the received spectrum. The invention compares the measured phase and frequency data of the emissions with a software solution of the theoretically or empirically derived closed-form expression which governs the phase and frequency distribution of the emissions within the source. Verification of this relationship serves to dramatically increase the confidence of the detection.

  • Patent number: 9625509
    Abstract: A system for determining structural characteristics of an electromagnetic energy shielding material during a manufacturing process includes a transmitting antenna device mounted for a reciprocal linear movement across a width thereof, the transmitting antenna device being connected to a source of the electromagnetic energy and operable to transmit waves of the electromagnetic energy through the thickness of the electromagnetic energy shielding material during the reciprocal linear movement. A receiving antenna device is also mounted for the reciprocal linear movement in an alignment with the transmitting antenna device and operable to receive, during the reciprocal linear movement, the waves of electromagnetic energy being absorbed and attenuated by the electromagnetic energy shielding material.

  • Patent number: 9599576
    Abstract: A system for determining properties and structural integrity of a material comprises a probe including a housing, a source operable to propagate an acoustic energy through a thickness of the material, a source operable to propagate a radio frequency (RF) energy through the thickness of the material, an acoustic member mounted within the housing and operable to measure a response of the material to the acoustic energy, and a radio frequency (RF) member mounted within the hollow interior in a close proximity to the acoustic member and operable to measure a response of the material to the RF energy. A hardware interface device is coupled to both acoustic and RF members. A controller is coupled to the hardware interface and configured to receive the acoustic and RF response signals and includes a processor operable to process the received acoustic and RF response signals.

  • Patent number: 8643539
    Abstract: The current invention relates to a monitoring and analysis device and a method for monitoring and analysis that utilizes the unintended electromagnetic emissions of electrically powered systems. The present invention monitors electrical devices by taking detailed measurements of the electromagnetic fields emitted by any component or system utilizing electricity. The measurements will be analyzed to both record a baseline score for future measurements and to be used in detailed analysis to determine the status of the analyzed system or component.
