1. A system for managing spectrum data for an electromagnetic environment, comprising:
at least one node device; and
at least one receiver;
wherein the at least one node device is operable to sweep the electromagnetic environment with a spectral sweep including power level measurements of the electromagnetic environment;
wherein the at least one node device is operable to smooth the spectral sweep with a correction vector;
wherein the at least one node device is operable to detect at least one signal in the electromagnetic environment based on matched positive and negative gradients;
wherein the at least one node device is operable to remove areas identified by the matched positive and negative gradients, and connect points between removed areas to determine a baseline;
wherein the at least one node device is operable to subtract the baseline from the spectral sweep to create signal data;
wherein the at least one node device is operable to process the signal data using compressed data for deltas in near real-time to create processed data;
wherein the deltas are differentials from the baseline and minimize data sets or sample data required for comparisons and/or analytics;
wherein the at least one node device is operable to reconstruct the at least one signal using the deltas and the baseline;
wherein the at least one node device is operable to fill gaps during the reconstruction of the at least one signal where the signal data is absent;
wherein the at least one node device is operable to calculate signal degradation data for the at least one signal based at least in part on noise figure parameters and hardware parameters; and
wherein the hardware parameters comprise antenna position, antenna type, orientation, and/or effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP).
