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 at least a memory and one or more processors;
• a signal analyzer, comprising at least a first plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory of, and operating on at least one processor of, the computing device;
• wherein the first plurality of programming instructions, when operating on the at least one processor, cause the computing device to:
• receive signal information comprising at least one detected or confirmed signal;
• and
• analyze the signal information using at least a first algorithm designed to provide information about the radio frequency signal landscape;
• a signal confirmer, comprising at least a second plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory of, and operating on at least one processor of, the computing device;
• wherein the second plurality of programming instructions, when operating on the at least one processor, cause the computing device to:
• receive signal information comprising at least one suspected signal;
• confirm the existence of suspected signals within the signal information using at least 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 at least a third plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory of, and operating on at least one processor of, the computing device;
• wherein the third plurality of programming instructions, when operating on the at least one processor, cause the computing device to:
• receive signal information;
• detect radio frequency signals within the signal information using at least 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.
