Abstract

See full text

A system for passively sensing low frequency (5 Hz to 50 kHz) EM emanations from vehicles and classifying them on that basis. A temporal frequency response is computed for the sensed EM emanations. Harmonic, non-harmonic and temporal features are extracted from the response and used to classify the vehicle. In the preferred embodiment, the temporal frequency response is displayed as a time, frequency and intensity plot, from which a technician visually extracts these features. The features can then be used either to determine a 'signature' for classifying the vehicle or to determine specific characteristics which, in turn, can be used to classify the vehicle. Alternately, the feature extraction and classification can be performed by an automated classifier.
