Abstract
An apparatus configured to assess health of electronic components in vehicles. This may be achieved by simply driving a vehicle into or through a physical device or over a physical device and determining the health of the vehicle. The apparatus may be comprised of a physical enclosure with antennas and a RF emission or other electromagnetic emission signature analyzer. The antennas capture unintended electronic emissions from the vehicle which provide the electromagnetic signatures of the electronic component to the signature analyzer. The evolution of the unintended electromagnetic emissions signature as the electronics ages is measured and evaluated, providing a measure of the health of the electronics within the vehicle. The apparatus may have an ultra-sensitive RF collection portion with a sensitivity preferably of at least −150 dBm. The RF collection portion may measure bandwidths of at least 100 MHz and may have a frequency resolution of 1 Hz or better.
