SIGNAL COMPARISON AND DIRECTION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system, comprising:
- a comparison component configured to compare an incoming signal level of an incoming signal against a threshold level; and
a direction component configured to direct the incoming signal away from a communication component when the incoming signal level meets the threshold,where the comparison component, the direction component, or a combination thereof is implemented, at least in part, by way of hardware.

Abstract
Various embodiments are described that relate to directing of a signal. An incoming signal can be compared to a threshold voltage. If the signal does not meet the threshold voltage, then the signal can be used for normal usage, such as communication with a software-defined radio. However, if the signal does meet the threshold, then the signal can be directed away from normal usage. In one example, the signal can be directed away from a communication component and directed to an energy harvesting component that charges a battery of the software-defined radio.
