Abstract

A property of a signal may be detected by sampling a signal and determining a scalar indicator of the samples. The samples can be transformed to create a transformed signal. A scalar indicator of the transformed signal may be determined and compared to the scalar indicator of the sample. If the comparison yields a number greater than a selected threshold value then the signal that was sampled may be deemed to include the property. A property indicator signal may be driven low or high to indicate that the signal has the property. The time and duration of time that the signal is deemed to include the property may be recorded. The recorded data may be reviewed and appropriate action may be taken.
