Systems, methods, and devices for automatic signal detection based on power distribution by frequency over time

A method for signal detection or conflict detection in an electromagnetic environment, comprising:

• an analyzer engine generating fast Fourier transform (FFT) data based on measured power levels of at least one signal in the electromagnetic environment;
• a generator engine performing a power bin occurrence (PBO) process and generating PBO data based on the measured power levels of the at least one signal;
• the generator engine generating power distribution by frequency over time (PDFT) data and/or second order power bin occurrence (SOPBO) data based on the PBO data;
• and
• the analyzer engine calculating a SOPBO baseline based on the SOPBO data.

A system for signal detection or conflict detection in an electromagnetic environment, comprising:

• an analyzer engine;
• at least one electromagnetic receiver configured to receive measured data of at least one signal from the electromagnetic environment;
• and
• a generator engine configured to perform a power bin occurrence (PBO) process and generate PBO data based on the measured data of the at least one signal;
• wherein the generator engine is operable to generate power distribution by frequency over time (PDFT) data and/or second order power bin occurrence (SOPBO) data based on the PBO data;
• wherein the analyzer engine is configured to generate fast Fourier transform (FFT) data based on the measured data;
• wherein the analyzer engine is operable to create at least one mask based on the FFT data;
• and
• wherein the analyzer engine is configured to calculate a SOPBO baseline based on the SOPBO data.
