US Patent 11956935 Sense and react tunable radio frequency systems

The embodiments are directed to protecting objects having sensitive electronics from high power radio frequency (HPRF) interference signals. An object with the sensitive electronics has a thin film applied to the object's outer surface. The thin film conforms to the object's outer surface contours. The thin film has a substrate foundation, an array in intimate adjacent contact with the substrate foundation. The array has a plurality of radio frequency (RF) witness films overlain on the substrate foundation. Each RF witness film in the plurality of RF witness films is equally-spaced from adjacent RF witness films.
