Mapping Probe for Real-Time Signal Sampling and Recovery from Engineered Electromagnetic Interference
Published Patent Application Number: 12,510,578
Problem
It solves problems involving localization, mapping, and imaging of unknown, not line-of-sight environments, such as firefighters or victims inside burning or collapsed buildings.
Invention
The invention is a probing instrument that can recover a signal (normally a signal would be a 3D environment, such as a room, a building, a city, etc.) by illuminating the signal with electromagnetic radiation structured in space and time according to the excitation signals applied to the corresponding antennas of the transmitters and detecting reflections with a set of receivers.
Potential Commercial Applications
For first-responder applications, there simply is no non-invasive commercial solution that provides real-time localization and mapping.
Competitive Advantage
There is no system that performs localization and imaging using electromagnetic wave interference in real time.
