Abstract
An n-phonic energy detection (“NED”) system includes two antenna structures separated by a distance. Each of the two antenna structures includes antenna elements. The NED system also includes radio frequency (“RF”) detectors configured to detect RF energy emitted from a source and received by the two antenna structures, and an amplifier that amplifies signals from the RF detectors and outputs the amplified signals to a computer.

A monitoring system comprising:
- an n-phonic energy detection (“NED”) system comprising:
- two antenna structures separated by a distance, each of the two antenna structures comprising a plurality of antenna elements, wherein each of the plurality of antenna elements is a directional waveguide antenna, wherein each of the two antenna structures comprises an array of antenna elements arranged in close proximity relative to each other, and wherein the array of antenna elements forms a sphere;
- at least two radio frequency (“RF”) detectors configured to detect RF energy that is emitted from a source and received by each of the two antenna structures;
- and
- an amplifier configured to amplify signals from the at least two RF detectors and output the amplified signals to a computer;
- and
- an RF emitter configured to be attached to a person or to an object.
