Radio Vision

A novel device for cell phone detection is been developed in the CATA/DAS laboratory. The detector is based in phased array antenna technology which is primary used in radio astronomy applications. The device will allow location of cell phones’ emissions on a 60x60 deg field of view. The commercial applications of this device varies from locating people trapped under snow avalanches or collapsed buildings to cell phone detection in prisons, airplanes or other places where phones are not allowed. The development of the first prototype is well under way and is composed of an antenna array, a beam forming circuitry based on commercially available parts, and an embedded computer for control and display. This project won prize at the nation-wide innovation contest OpenBeauchef.
