Optical encryption scheme based on spread spectrum ghost imaging

An optical encryption(OE) scheme based on the spread spectrum ghost imaging(SSGI), named as SSGI-OE, is proposed to obtain a high security with a smaller key. In the scheme, the randomly selected row number of a Hadamard matrix of order N is used as the secure key, and shared with the authorized user, Bob, through a private channel. Each corresponding row vector of the order-N Hadamard matrix is then used as the direct sequence code to modulate a speckle pattern for the ghost imaging system, and an image is encrypted with the help of the SSGI. The measurement results from the bucket detector, named as ciphertext, are then transmitted to Bob through a public channel. The illuminating speckle patterns are also shared with Bob by the public channel. With the correct secure key, Bob could reconstruct the image with the aid of the SSGI system, whereas the unauthorized user, Eve, could not obtain any useful information of the encrypted image. The numerical simulations and experimental results show that the proposed scheme is feasible with a higher security and a smaller key. For the 32 × 32 pixels image, the number of bits sent from Alice to Bob by using SSGIOE(M = 1024, N = 2048) scheme is only 0.0107 times over a computational ghost imaging optical encryption scheme.When the eavesdropping ratio(ER) is less than 40%, the eavesdropper cannot acquire any information of the encrypted image. The extreme circumstance for the proposed SSGI-OE scheme is also discussed, where the eavesdropper begins to extract the information when ER is up to 15%.

High-Sensitivity Acquisition of Ultrahigh Dynamic Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Signals in Space Communications

According to the requirements of the high-sensitivity acquisition of Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum(DSSS) signals under ultrahigh dynamic environments in space communications, a three-dimensional joint search of the phase of Pseudo-Noise-code(PN-code),Doppler frequency and its rate-of-change is presented to achieve high sensitivity in sensing high-frequency dynamics. By eliminating the correlation peak loss caused by ultrahigh Doppler frequency and its rate-of-change offset,the proposed method improves the acquisition sensitivity by increasing the non-coherent accumulation time. The validity of the algorithm is proved by theoretical analysis and simulation results. It is shown that signals with a carrier- to-noise ratio as low as 39 dBHz can be captured with high performance when the Doppler frequency is up to ±1 MHz and its rate-of-change is up to ±200 kHz/s.

New Acquisition Algorithm for Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Signals

Aiming at improving acquisition performance for direct sequence spread spectrum （DSSS） signals, a new acquisition algorithm based on fast Fourier transform （FFT） is proposed. The code phases are parallel searched throughout the Doppler frequency domain. Since the influence of Doppler frequency errors on peak-to- average ratios of correlation power shows a pattern similar to the sinc function, it is our belief that by judging on peak-to-average ratios for different Doppler frequency errors false alarm probabilities should be lowered. Analyses have supported the underlying principle of this new algorithm. Simulation results have also indicated that the new algorithm can effectively improve the acquisition performance for DSSS signals.

SINGLE TONE JAMMING ELIMINATION SCHEME OF MULTICARRIER SPREAD SPECTRUM SYSTEM

The proposed scheme is based on Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) domain processing. The key technology of this scheme is jamming parameters' accurate estimation and jamming reconstruction. Compared with the 'threshold exciser' scheme the proposed scheme can eliminate more jamming energy on the whole frequency band with the minimum loss of useful signal energy. As shown in the research and simulation, the proposed scheme is much better than the 'threshold exciser' scheme, especially in the case of high power jamming whereas the 'threshold exciser' scheme might be invalid.

Non-Supervised Learning for Spread Spectrum Signal Pseudo-Noise Sequence Acquisition

An idea of estimating the direct sequence spread spectrum（DSSS） signal pseudo-noise（PN） sequence is presented. Without the apriority knowledge about the DSSS signal in the non-cooperation condition, we propose a self-organizing feature map（SOFM） neural network algorithm to detect and identify the PN sequence. A non-supervised learning algorithm is proposed according the Kohonen rule in SOFM. The blind algorithm can also estimate the PN sequence in a low signal-to-noise（SNR） and computer simulation demonstrates that the algorithm is effective. Compared with the traditional correlation algorithm based on slip-correlation, the proposed algorithm＇s bit error rate（BER） and complexity are lower.

Modulated Lapped Biorthogonal Transform for Non-orthogonal Narrowband Interference Excision in Spread Spectrum Communications

Traditional lapped transform domain excision techniques obtain good performance at the expense of increased processing delay. Extension of transform domain filtering techniques to the lapped biorthogonal transform domain can help solve the problem. By incorporating biorthogonality into the lapped transforms, more flexibility is obtained in the design of windows. Thus transform bases with better stopband attenuation can be generated by designing windows, but not by increasing the overlapping factor. In this paper, a new modulated lapped biorthogonal transform (MLBT) with optimized windows is introduced for efficient compression of multi-tone interfering signal energy. The bit error rate (BER) performance of the receiver employing the proposed MLBT excision technique is analyzed and compared with that of the lapped transform domain excision-based receivers. Simulation results demonstrate the improved performance and increased robustness of the proposed technique.

Despreader for Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum System and Its Performance Analysis

A new type of despreader for direct sequence spread spectrum signal is proposed. Compared with traditional despreaders, the new despreader does not contain hard decision ware or handle binary sequence any more, and the locally stored spread spectrum signals are pre-modulated baseband signals (such as Gaussian minimum shift keying (GMSK) signals), which are much more similar to the received spread spectrum signals. Moreover, the missed detection probability of the despreader is about one order of magnitude lower than that of traditional ones. Based on the maximum likelihood criterion and phase probability density function of demodulated signal, a new method of ana- lyzing the despreaders’ performance is put forward, which is proved to be more accurate than traditional methods according to the numerical results. Finally, an adaptive despreader under different signal-to-noise ratios is given.

THE STUDY OF A BOCC M-ARY SPREAD SPECTRUM SCHEME

M-ary spread spectrum technique has been found wide applications in wireless communications, but it needs too many orthogonal spreading codes and its despreading/demodulation is quite complex computationally, which limit its wider applications. This paper proposes a novel scheme for Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) communication systems based on M-ary spread spectrum, where only one prototype spreading code is assigned to each user and the codes for different users are orthogonal or quasi-orthogonal with each other. The M spreading codes of each user to represent K bits data are generated by circularly shifting the assigned code and reversing its polarity. The spreading codes generated like that are called as BiOrthogonal Cyclic Codes (BOCCs). At the receiver of the system, a transform domain matched-filter implemented by means of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is employed to despread and demodulate the received signals, which has very low computational complexity. The results of simulation experiments and bit-error performance analysis show that the proposed scheme is practical and very useful in many cases.

Performance of Spread Spectrum Watermarking in Autoregressive Host Model Under Additive White Gaussian Noise Channel

A large class of multimedia and biomedical signals can be modeled as Autotegessive （AR） random processes. Pefformance of watermarking embedding algorithms utilizing this host model is still left unexplored. The authors investigate the decoding perform-nance of Spread Spectrum （SS） embedding algorithm in the standard Additive White Gaussian Noise （AWGN） channel with the host signal being modeled as AR process. The SS embedding algorithm also use linear interference cancelation in the subspace spanned by watermark pattern. They study the influence of design parameters on the decoding performance. The analytic result is verified by Monte Carlo simulation on synthesized AR process. The result may be helpful to design watermarking system for speech, biomedical and image signals.

3D attitude measurement by means of spread spectrum modulated ultrasonic wave

Local position and attitude measurement methods are necessary for the navigation of autonomous robots and the other applications. In this paper, a 3D attitude measurement method is proposed. This method uses the spread spectrum modulated ultrasonic wave for the measurement of the pseudo-distance of each pathway between transmitter and receiver elements that are arranged in an array. The relative attitude between transmitter and receiver unit could be calculated from the relationship between these pseudo-distances. The use of spread spectrum modulation enables the high accuracy, noise tolerance, and coexistence of multiple transmitter devices by code division multiple access (CDMA) between transmitter and receiver elements. A pair of transmitter and receiver prototype for proposed method was manufactured, and the fundamental performance was examined in experiments. As a result, accuracy of σ=0.78 mm in the pseudo-distance measurement of each pathway between transmitter and receiver elements was confirmed, and about 0.01 rad resolution in the attitude measurement was also confirmed.

Radar-Communication Integration Based on MSK-LFM Spread Spectrum Signal

At present, with the progress and innovation of technology, the radar communication dual function wave has become a hot research at home and abroad. Excellent integrated waveform can make full use resources of combat platform, reduce the size of equipment, and realize the actual functionality of the reality of the battle-field without affecting the radar communication func-tion. The MSK-LFM dual-function wave is a typical representative;it is based on LFM, through the MSK modulation to achieve the integration function. This paper proposes a scheme of combining the spread spectrum technology with the MSK-LFM waveform based on the previous literature. The simulation results show that the waveform envelope is more stable and the energy is more concentrated. With the introduction of spread-spectrum technology, the new waveform ambiguity function graph is much closer to the thumbtack than the traditional MSK-LFM waveform.

Performance Improvement of Wireless Communications Using Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum

To improve the performance of short-range wireless communications, channel quality must be improved by avoiding interference and multi-path fading. Frequency hopping spread spectrum(FHSS) is a transmission technique where the carrier hops from frequency to frequency. For frequency hopping a mechanism must be designed so that the data can be transmitted in a clear channel and avoid congested channels. Adaptive frequency hopping is a system which is used to improve immunity toward frequency interference by avoiding using congested frequency channels in hopping sequence. In this paper mathematical modelling is used to simulate and analyze the performance improvement by using FHSS with popular modulation schemes, and also the hopping channel situations are investigated.

Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum Security Improvement with Encrypted Spreading Codes in a Partial Band Noise Jamming Environment

Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) system is often deployed to protect wireless communication from jamming or to preclude undesired reception of the signal. Such themes can only be achieved if the jammer or undesired receiver does not have the knowledge of the spreading code. For this reason, unencrypted M-sequences are a deficient choice for the spreading code when a high level of security is required. The primary objective of this paper is to analyze vulnerability of linear feedback shift register (LFSRs) codes. Then, a new method based on encryption algorithm applied over spreading codes, named hidden frequency hopping is proposed to improve the security of FHSS. The proposed encryption security algorithm is highly reliable, and can be applied to all existing data communication systems based on spread spectrum techniques. Since the multi-user detection is an inherent characteristic for FHSS, the multi-user interference must be studied carefully. Hence, a new method called optimum pair “key-input” selection is proposed which reduces interference below the desired constant threshold.
