Abstract

A method and apparatus for identifying a radio transmitter. The transient frequency or phase history of the turn-on characteristics of a transmitter is detected and digitized. The history can be analyzed by a microprocessor operating a computer program to gather transient phase information from an unknown transmitter and to classify the transmitter in accordance with a transient characteristic.
