Abstract

A device for detecting a covert transmitter having a time varying impedance therein including a radio frequency transmitter and an audio frequency transmitter which are directed so as to illuminate a target area. The audio tone drives the active elements into a non-linear mode of operation to modulate the transmitted radio frequency. The re-radiated energy is detected by a further radio frequency receiver.
