Patent Images
1. A system, comprising:
- a transmit antenna;
a controller to control frequencies transmitted by the transmit antenna;
a receive antenna; and
a signal processor to process information from the receive antenna to identify a frequency transmitted by the transmit antenna that disrupts operation of an engine of a vehicle, wherein the controller controls the signal transmitted by the transmit antenna to dwell on the frequency that disrupts the engine.
