System and method for detection of emitter signals using multiple intercept rules
First Claim
1. A method for detecting a signal from a source, using a receiver, wherein the source transmits the signal in a portion of the frequency spectrum, and wherein the method comprises acts of:
- determining a first method for detecting the signal; and
determining at least one user-defined rule that defines, at least in part, a first revisit time for the source, wherein the first revisit time for the source defines, at least in part, how frequently the receiver retunes to the portion of the frequency spectrum when the receiver is configured according to the first method for detecting the signal.

Abstract
A system and method is provided for detecting emitter signals and for determining a scan strategy for a receiver system that receives such emitter signals. A rule-based system is provided for determining how emitters should be detected by a detection system. Rules may be used to prioritize certain emitters with respect to other emitters. The rules may also specify parameters for emitter modes, such as probability of intercept, turn-on range, detect-by range, tolerance, tolerance direction, scan periods, and other parameters. The rules may be used to compute the revisit time for the receiver. Multiple sets of rules may be created and a scan strategy may be computed based upon the selected rule set.

11. A computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, as a result of being executed by a computer, instruct the computer to perform a method for detecting a signal from a source, using a receiver, wherein the source transmits the signal in a portion of the frequency spectrum, and wherein the method comprises acts of:
-
determining a first method for detecting the signal; and determining at least one user-defined rule that defines, at least in part, a first revisit time for the source, wherein the first revisit time for the source defines, at least in part, how frequently the receiver retunes to the portion of the frequency spectrum when the receiver is configured according to the first method for detecting the signal. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
