Physically locate a laptop on the wireless network

Hello,

In the past, I have seen a tool used to physically find a laptop connected to the wireless network that was not authorized to do so. Basically, some guy would wander around the office with this monitor, I'm guessing monitoring signal strength of some kind, until he walked up to the culprit and nailed him.

I'm wondering where one could get that tool, if it's not hugely expensive. Or, perhaps there is some other home-built alternative. I haven't been able to get any useful information from google.

The goal is to be able to find a individual unit that has connected to my network.

Thanks.
