SYSTEM FOR ESTIMATING RECEIVER UTILIZATION
First Claim
1. A system for estimating the utilization of an electromagnetic signal receiver, said system comprising:
- a detection module for receiving electromagnetic signals from a surrounding environment, the electromagnetic signals being chronologically segregated into a plurality of dwells each with an elapsed time;
a processing module for controlling the scanning of the surrounding environment, said processing module computing a plurality of a utilizations by dividing each individual elapsed time by a predetermined sample interval, said processing module receiving data about the signals from said detection module, said processing module further determining a total utilization by adding the plurality of utilizations.

Abstract
A system estimates the utilization of an electromagnetic signal receiver. The system includes a detection module and a processing module. The detection module receives electromagnetic signals from a surrounding environment. The electromagnetic signals are chronologically segregated into a plurality of dwells each with an elapsed time. The processing module controls the scanning of the surrounding environment. The processing module receives data about the signals from the detection module. The processing module computes a plurality of utilizations by dividing each individual elapsed time by a predetermined sample interval. The processing module further determines a total utilization by adding the plurality of utilizations.
