AUTOMATED CALIBRATION OF EMI FINGERPRINT SCANNING INSTRUMENTATION FOR UTILITY POWER SYSTEM COUNTERFEIT DETECTION

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with automated calibration of electromagnetic interference (EMI) fingerprint scanning instrumentation for utility power system counterfeit detection are described. In one embodiment, a method for detecting a calibration state of an EMI fingerprint scanning device includes: collecting electromagnetic signals with the EMI fingerprint scanning device for a test period of time at a geographic location; identifying one or more peak frequency bands in the collected electromagnetic signals; comparing the one or more peak frequency bands to assigned radio station frequencies at the geographic location to determine if a match is found; and generating a calibration state signal based at least in part on the comparing to indicate whether the EMI fingerprint scanning device is calibrated or not calibrated.
