Radio frequency and microwave imaging with a two-dimensional sensor array
First Claim
1. A method for imaging radio and microwave electromagnetic radiation using a two-dimensional sensor array, the method comprising:
- receiving a readout signal from each of a plurality of frequency sensors, arranged in a two-dimensional array, wherein the plurality of frequency sensors have the ability to detect radio and microwave frequency radiation emitted from an electrical device and wherein the detected radiation is focused into an image using a focusing mechanism;
mapping the readout signal of each of the plurality of sensors to a location corresponding to the physical location of the sensor on the two-dimensional array; and
converting the readout signal into a computer readable radiation image utilizing the mapping, such that the computer readable radiation image displays the readout signal of each of the plurality of sensors on a single graph according to the physical location of each sensor on the two-dimensional array.

Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for imaging radio and microwave electromagnetic radiation using a two-dimensional sensor array. A computing system receives a readout signal from one or more of a plurality of frequency sensors, arranged in a two-dimensional array, that have the ability to detect an image of focused radio and microwave frequency radiation. The computing system maps the readout signal of each of the plurality of sensors to a location corresponding to the physical location of the sensor on the two-dimensional array. The computing system converts the readout signal into a computer readable image.
