1. An apparatus for signal detection in an electromagnetic environment, comprising:
at least one receiver and at least one processor coupled with at least one memory;
wherein the apparatus is operable to create power level measurements of the electromagnetic environment;
wherein the apparatus is operable to calculate a first derivative of the power level measurements and a second derivative of the power level measurements;
wherein the apparatus is operable to detect at least one signal in the electromagnetic environment based on matched positive and negative gradients;
wherein the apparatus is operable to determine a baseline;
wherein the apparatus is operable to reveal at least one signal based on the baseline, thereby creating signal data;
wherein the apparatus is operable to process the signal data using compressed data for deltas, thereby generating processed data;
wherein the apparatus is operable to reconstruct the at least one signal using the deltas and the baseline; and
wherein the apparatus is operable to fill gaps during reconstruction of the at least one signal where data of the at least one signal is absent.
