Patent ID: 7242346

Claim:
In an electronic surveillance system of a type having antennas, a receiver for converting real radio frequency pulse signals into digitized radio frequency pulse descriptor word data and a pulse processor for filtering pulse descriptor word data, an apparatus that inserts continuous streams of supplied radio frequency pulse descriptor word data into the electronic surveillance system for the purpose of simulating a radio frequency pulse environment, said apparatus comprising: an electronics unit configured for integration into the electronic surveillance system between the receiver and pulse processor for inserting supplied radio frequency pulse descriptor word data files into the pulse processor; and a computer including hardware for storing the pulse descriptor word data files and transmitting the pulse descriptor word data files to the electronics unit, and software for providing a graphical user interface to create pulse descriptor word data files, and for controlling the process by which said electronics unit inserts the pulse descriptor word data files into the pulse processor, wherein said computer is a standard personal computer including a hard drive, random access memory (RAM), a Digital Input/Output (DIO) card, a peripheral control interface (PCI) bus, an operating system, and at least one input/output connection for communication with said electronics unit and wherein said software comprises at least two databases for radio frequency pulse descriptor word data files including a first pulse descriptor word file database for storing real radio frequency pulse descriptor word data previously received by the electronic surveillance system, and a second pulse descriptor word file database for storing files created by reformatting data files from said first database into fabricated data files, whereby the fabricated files maintained in said second pulse descriptor word file database may be selected for transmission to said electronics unit and insertion into the electronic surveillance system.
