Abstract
A modular, radio frequency (“RF”) system includes one or more directional antennas and is configured with both hardware and software components to enable the RF system to monitor (e.g., detect or track signals or objects) and/or interact with (e.g., track signals or objects, or transmit signals) objects in particular directions. The RF system includes one or more machine learning models to determine, based on received signals, one or more signals to transmit.
Claims22
A computer-implemented method comprising, by one or more hardware processors executing program instructions:
- collecting, by a first set of antennas, a first set of RF signal data associated with a first object;
- inputting, into a machine learning model, the first set of RF signal data;
- based on an output from the machine learning model, identify a type of object associated with the first object;
- based at least in part on the type of object, generating a second set of RF signals different from the first set of RF signals;
- and
- generating and causing transmission, using a second set of antennas, of the second set of RF signals.
A RF system comprising:
- a direction finder;
- a plurality of antennas, wherein:
- each of the plurality antennas receives or radiates RF signals in a specific direction,
- the plurality antennas are configured to operate independently, and
- each of the plurality of antennas is configured operate in coordination with one or more other antennas of the plurality of antennas;
- and
- electronic circuitry comprising one or more hardware processors configured to execute programmable instructions to cause the RF system to:
- track a first RF signal using a first antenna;
- determine, using data collected from the direction finder or the first antenna:
- that the first RF signal is being emitted from an object, and
- a velocity associated with the object;
- and
- based at least in part on the determinations, activate a second antenna to continue tracking the first RF signal.
