Frequency visualization apparatus and method

A radio frequency imager comprising:

• two or more directional radio frequency antennas, each of the two or more directional radio frequency antennas oriented to capture a distinct portion of a field of view targeted by the radio frequency imager and intercept radio waves therein, such orientation comprising a detector array, each antenna configured to output a specific voltage based on the strength of the intercepted radio waves within each antenna's distinct portion of the field of view;
• two or more voltage amplifiers in communication with the two or more radio frequency antennas, for amplifying the strength of each output voltage;
• two or more analog to digital converters, each converter connected to a corresponding voltage amplifier of the two or more voltage amplifiers for converting each output voltage into digital data;
• a digital memory apparatus connected to the two or more converters for receiving and storing the digital data in a numeric array, wherein digital data from each of the two or more radio frequency antennas is stored in the numeric array at a location of the array corresponding to the distinct portion of the field of view captured by each of the two or more directional radio frequency antennas;
• a processor connected to the digital memory apparatus for processing the digital data;
• and
• a display apparatus connected to the processor for receiving display commands from the processor and for displaying a visual array comprising individual visual array indicator elements, each visual array indicator element corresponding to digital data of a specific radio frequency antenna stored in the numerical array and configured to display visual information characterizing a magnitude of the radio wave frequency intercepted within each distinct portion of the field of view by each of the two or more radio frequency antennas, the location of visual array indicator elements on the display corresponding to a location of radio waves within the visual field of view targeted by the radio frequency imager;
• wherein the display apparatus visually displays locations of the intercepted radio waves within the field of view of the radio frequency imager on portions of the display apparatus that correspond to the locations within the field of view of the radio frequency imager.
