Some aspects relate to detecting an RF anomaly by determining, based on a multidimensional encoding of characteristics of an RF signal, that the RF signal is anomalous compared to a baseline of multidimensional encodings of characteristics of RF radiation received in the operating environment. Some aspects relate to controlling RF anomaly detection by initiating an action in response to selection of an option displayed to a user in a graphical user interface in along with an indication of an RF signal determined to be anomalous compared to a baseline. Some aspects relate to identifying a subset of RF data and determining a presence of an RF anomaly corresponding to the subset by comparing a representation of RF radiation to a baseline. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of detecting an RF anomaly in an RF system, the method comprising, by at least one processor: obtaining a multidimensional encoding of characteristics of an RF signal, the multidimensional encoding generated using digital samples of RF radiation received by an RF sensor in an operating environment;
