Radio frequency detection assembly and method for detecting radio frequencies
First Claim
1. A radio frequency detection assembly, comprising:
- a radio frequency detector which detects a radio frequency emission produced by a radio frequency emitter from a given location which is remote relative to the radio frequency detector, and wherein the radio frequency detector comprises a first transceiver which is operable to both receive the radio frequency emission produced by the radio frequency emitter and transmit a radio frequency signal;
a second transceiver which is electrically coupled with the first transceiver, and which generates a radio frequency signal, and wherein a plurality of radio detection assemblies are located in a given geographical region and are deployed in spaced relation throughout the given geographical region, and wherein the second transceiver sends a radio frequency signal to another radio detection assembly, or receives the radio frequency signal generated by the second transceiver of another radio detection assembly;
a location assembly electrically coupled with the radio frequency detector and which is operable to estimate the location of the radio frequency emitter from the radio frequency emission which has been received; and
a radio frequency transmitter electrically coupled with the radio frequency detector and the location assembly, and which transmits a radio frequency signal which reports the presence of the radio frequency emitter.

12. A radio frequency detection assembly, comprising:
-
a first radio frequency transceiver which detects a radio frequency emission produced by a communications device from a given restricted geographical region which is remote relative thereto; a central processing unit electrically coupled with the first radio frequency transceiver, and which controls the operation of the radio frequency detection assembly; second radio frequency transceiver which is electrically coupled with the central processing unit and which communicates with another radio frequency detection assembly which is deployed near the given restricted geographical region; a control facility which is positioned remotely relative to the radio frequency detection assembly and which can communicate with the communications device which is located within the given restricted geographical region; a location assembly electrically coupled with the central processing unit and which estimates the location of the communications device within the given restricted geographic region from the radio frequency emission produced by the communications device; and a third radio frequency transceiver which is electrically coupled with the central processing unit and which transmits a message to the control facility to notify the control facility of the presence of the communications device within the restricted geographical region, and wherein the control facility transmits a message to the communications device to warn a user of the communications device that the user is in a restricted geographical region. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A method for detecting radio frequencies, comprising:
-
deploying a radio frequency detector within a given restricted geographical region; providing a control facility which has responsibility for securing the given restricted geographical region; detecting an emitted radio frequency produced by a cellular telephone or a two-way radio within the restricted geographical region; determining the geographic location of the cellular telephone or two way radio within the restricted geographical region based, at least in part, upon the emitted radio frequency of the cellular telephone or two-way radio; reporting the geographical location of the cellular telephone or two-way radio within the restricted geographical region to the control facility; and communicating with the cellular telephone or two-way radio in a fashion so as to advise a user of the cellular telephone or two-way radio of their location within the restricted geographical region. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
