Abstract
In one embodiment a method includes, collecting in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) data representing energy detected by a radio in a frequency band, performing a fast Fourier transform (FFT) on the I/Q data resulting in a stream of FFT blocks, identifying using the stream of FFT blocks a pulse in the frequency band, recording in a radio events record (RER) a plurality of radio events and corresponding timestamps that are indicative, respectively, of a type and time of individual state changes in the radio during the collecting step, and, for example, using at least two of the radio events to identify, in the time domain, a beginning time and end time of the pulse detected in the stream of FFT blocks.
