Abstract
An autonomous wearable radio frequency (RF) detection device for detecting cellular, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth radio frequency emissions and locations. The wearable device is operable to detect RF signals in a proximal area surrounding the wearable device and a user wearing the wearable device and communicate the information to a user. Leveraging a cloud based system, the wearable RF detection device can relay RF signal information to a cloud network for correlation with known RF signal sources, and receive back indications of known and rogue RF signal sources among the detected RF signals in the proximal area.
