3.4. DETECTION ALGORITHM
Below is a simplified flowchart for the ID5002P detection algorithm which is running while
LISTENING.

Periodically calculate 100 bin FFT

Calculate Power In Band (PIB) between Lower
Frequency bin (LF) and Upper Frequency bin (UF)
Calculate Difference Level (DL)
= Average Value (AV) – Average Noise (AN)
