Large scale radio frequency signal information processing and analysis system

A large-scale radio frequency signal information processing and analysis system, comprising:

• a computing device comprising a memory and a processor;
• and
• a signal analyzer, comprising a first plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory of, and operating on the processor of, the computing device, wherein the first plurality of programming instructions, when operating on the processor, cause the computing device to:
• receive signal information comprising a detected or confirmed signal;
• and
• analyze the signal information using a first algorithm designed to provide information about the radio frequency signal landscape;
• and
• a signal confirmer, comprising a second plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory of, and operating on the processor of, the computing device, wherein the second plurality of programming instructions, when operating on the processor, cause the computing device to:
• receive signal information comprising a suspected signal;
• confirm the existence of the suspected signal within the signal information using a second algorithm;
• for portions of the data in which the existence of a signal is confirmed, forward that portion of the data to the signal analyzer;
• and
• for portions of the data in which the existence of a signal is not confirmed, store or discard that portion of the data;
• and
• a signal detector, comprising a third plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory of, and operating on the processor of, the computing device, wherein the third plurality of programming instructions, when operating on the processor, cause the computing device to:
• receive signal information;
• detect radio frequency signals within the signal information using a third algorithm;
• for portions of the data in which a signal is detected, forward that portion of the data to the signal analyzer;
• for portions of the data in which no signal is detected, store or discard that portion of the data;
• and
• for portions of the data in which a signal is suspected, forward that portion of the data to the signal confirmer.
