A system for localizing and object is disclosed herein. The system includes a radio transmitter disposed in a first location, a radio receiver disposed in a second location, a processor operatively coupled to the radio transmitter and to the radio receiver, and a memory operatively coupled to the processor. The memory includes instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to send a first command to the radio transmitter to transmit a continuous radio wave, send a second command to the radio receiver to receive a reflected radio wave, receive from the radio receiver a signal indicating the reflected radio wave is within a spatial region of interest, and determining a three-dimensional location of the object within the spatial region of interest based on the reflected radio wave.

Method to detect objects or obstacles using radio

A system may include a transmitter and receiver. The system may include an electromagnetic transmission line sensor configured as a passive sensor, configured to determine at least one of a presence of one or more objects or one or more additional sensing parameters, wherein the electromagnetic transmission line sensor is configured as a continuous sensor, wherein the electromagnetic transmission line sensor includes a first port; a second port, wherein one of the first port or the second port comprises the transmitter and another of the first port or the second port comprises the receiver; and a length of waveguide suitable for transmitting an electromagnetic wave, wherein the length of waveguide is configured to couple to auxiliary sensors, wherein the transmitter transmits a packet comprising the electromagnetic wave through the length of waveguide to the receiver, wherein the one or more processing elements of the receiver interprets the packet.
