1. A method, comprising:
- transmitting a signal from a plurality of transmit positions along a drive path;
receiving reflections of the transmitted signal at a plurality of receive positions along the drive path;
forming a signature of a structure based on arrival angles of the reflections at each of the receive positions;
inferring an interior of the structure based on the signal; and
comparing the signature to other signatures to detect internal changes within the structure.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of wideband RF detection. The method may include transmitting a signal from a plurality of transmit positions along a drive path. Reflections of the transmitted signal are received at a plurality of receive positions along the drive path. A signature is formed based on arrival angles of the reflections at each of the receive positions. The signature includes the arrival angles of the reflections at each of the receive positions with respect to a distance along the drive path of a corresponding transmit position and a corresponding receive position of each of the reflections.
