System and methods for monitoring aviation rf environments

A method for monitoring RF congestion, the method comprising:

• receiving one or more signals from a RF receiver;
• determining one or more events from the one or more received signals;
• for each determined event of the one or more events, determining a signal type associated with the determined event;
• generating one or more event logs, wherein each event log of the one or more event logs corresponds to a determined event of the one or more events and includes information about the determined signal type associated with the determined event;
• and
• calculating an occupancy percentage of a RF receiver, wherein the occupancy percentage is based on the one or more event logs generated by the signal monitor.

A computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to monitor RF congestion, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by an electronic device, cause the device to:

• receive one or more signals from a RF receiver;
• determine one or more events from the one or more received signals;
• for each determined event of the one or more events, determine a signal type associated with the determined event;
• generate one or more event logs, wherein each event log of the one or more event logs corresponds to a determined event of the one or more events and includes information about the determined signal type associated with the determined event;
• and
• calculate an occupancy percentage of a RF receiver, wherein the occupancy percentage is based on the one or more event logs generated by the signal monitor.
