System and method for measuring characteristics of continuous media and/or localized targets using at least one multi-frequency sensor
First Claim
1. A system for obtaining data indicative of a characteristic of a continuous medium or a target located within a predetermined volume of space, which comprises:
- a sensor configuration including at least one sensor for acquiring a plurality of signals from the continuous medium or the target, each one of said plurality of signals being centered at a respective distinguishable frequency;
a processing circuit for obtaining said data indicative of said characteristic of the continuous medium or the target by calculating a plurality of powered weighted increments using said plurality of signals acquired by said sensor configuration and by relating said plurality of powered weighted increments to said characteristic of the continuous medium or the target using a plurality of models; and
an output circuit connected to said processing circuit for outputting the characteristic of the continuous medium or the target.

Abstract
A method and system is provided for obtaining data indicative of at least one characteristic of a continuous medium or at least one localized target located within a predetermined volume of space. The system includes a sensor configuration with at least one sensor for acquiring a plurality of signals from the continuous medium or the target. Each one of the plurality of signals is centered at a respective distinguishable frequency. The system also includes a processing circuit for obtaining the data indicative of the characteristic of the continuous medium or the target by calculating a plurality of powered weighted increments using the plurality of signals acquired by the sensor configuration and by relating the plurality of powered weighted increments to the characteristic of the continuous medium or the target using a plurality of models.
