A Physical Security Technology Based upon Doubly Multiple Parameters Weighted Fractional Fourier Transform

Enhancing the security of the wireless communication is necessary to guarantee the reliable of the data transmission, due to the broadcast nature of wireless channels. In this paper, we provide a novel technology referred to as doubly multiple parameters weighted fractional Fourier transform(DMWFRFT), which can strengthen the physical layer security of wireless communication. This paper introduces the concept of DM-WFRFT based on multiple parameters WFRFT(MP-WFRFT), and then presents its four properties. Based on these properties, the parameters decryption probability is analyzed in terms of the number of parameters. The number of parameters for DM-WFRFT is more than that of the MP-WFRFT,which indicates that the proposed scheme can further strengthen the the physical layer security. Lastly, some numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate that the efficiency of proposed DM-WFRFT is related to preventing eavesdropping, and the effect of parameters variety on the system performance is associated with the bit error ratio(BER).

Quantum entangled fractional Fourier transform based on the IWOP technique

In our previous papers,the classical fractional Fourier transform theory was incorporated into the quantum theoretical system using the theoretical method of quantum optics,and the calculation produced quantum mechanical operators corresponding to the generation of fractional Fourier transform.The core function of the coordinate-momentum exchange operators in the addition law of fractional Fourier transform was analyzed too.In this paper,the bivariate operator Hermite polynomial theory and the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators(IWOP)are used to establish the entanglement fractional Fourier transform theory to the extent of quantum.A new function generating formula and an operator for generating quantum entangled fractional Fourier transform are obtained using the fractional Fourier transform relationship in a pair of conjugated entangled state representations.

From fractional Fourier transformation to quantum mechanical fractional squeezing transformation

By converting the triangular functions in the integration kernel of the fractional Fourier transformation to the hyperbolic function,i.e.,tan α → tanh α,sin α →〉 sinh α,we find the quantum mechanical fractional squeezing transformation（FrST） which satisfies additivity.By virtue of the integration technique within the ordered product of operators（IWOP） we derive the unitary operator responsible for the FrST,which is composite and is made of e^iπa＋a/2 and exp[iα/2（a^2 ＋a^＋2）.The FrST may be implemented in combinations of quadratic nonlinear crystals with different phase mismatches.

Two mutually conjugated tripartite entangled states and their fractional Fourier transformation kernel

We newly construct two mutually-conjugate tripartite entangled state representations, based on which we propose the formulation of three-mode entangled fractional Fourier transformation （EFFT） and derive the transformation kernel. The EFFT＇s additivity property is proved and the eigenmode of EFFT is derived. As an application, we calculate the EFFT of the three-mode squeezed vacuum state.

Convolution Theorem of Fractional Fourier Transformation Derived by Representation Transformation in Quantum Mechancis

Based on our previous paper (Commun.Theor.Phys.39 (2003) 417) we derive the convolution theoremof fractional Fourier transformation in the context of quantum mechanics,which seems a convenient and neat way.Generalization of this method to the complex fractional Fourier transformation case is also possible.

Fractional Fourier Transformation for Quantum Mechanical Wave Functions Studied by Virtue of IWOP Technique

Starting from the optical fractional Fourier transform (FFT) and using the technique of integration withinan ordered product of operators we establish a formalism of FFT for quantum mechanical wave functions. In doing so, theessence of FFT can be seen more clearly, and the FFT of some wave functions can be derived more directly and concisely.We also point out that different FFT integral kernels correspond to different quantum mechanical representations. Theyare generalized FFT. The relationship between the FFT and the rotated Wigner operator is studied by virtue of theWeyl ordered form of the Wigner operator.

Reservoir information extraction using a fractional Fourier transform and a smooth pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution

Currently, it is difficult for people to express signal information simultaneously in the time and frequency domains when analyzing acoustic logging signals using a simple-time or frequency-domain method. It is difficult to use a single type of time-frequency analysis method, which affects the feasibility of acoustic logging signal analysis. In order to solve these problems, in this paper, a fractional Fourier transform and smooth pseudo Wigner Ville distribution （SPWD） were combined and used to analyze array acoustic logging signals. The time-frequency distribution of signals with the variation of orders of fractional Fourier transform was obtained, and the characteristics of the time-frequency distribution of different reservoirs under different orders were summarized. Because of the rotational characteristics of the fractional Fourier transform, the rotation speed of the cross terms was faster than those of primary waves, shear waves, Stoneley waves, and pseudo Rayleigh waves. By choosing different orders for different reservoirs according to the actual circumstances, the cross terms were separated from the four kinds of waves. In this manner, we could extract reservoir information by studying the characteristics of partial waves. Actual logging data showed that the method outlined in this paper greatly weakened cross-term interference and enhanced the ability to identify partial wave signals.

Chirp-Rate Resolution of Fractional Fourier Transform in Multi-component LFM Signal

Distinguishing close chirp-rates of different linear frequency modulation （LFM） signals under concentrated and complicated signal environment was studied. Firstly, detection and parameter estimation of multi-component LFM signal were used by discrete fast fractional Fourier transform （FrFT）. Then the expression of chirp-rate resolution in fractional Fourier domain （FrFD） was deduced from discrete normalize time-frequency distribution, when multi-component LFM signal had only one center frequency. Furthermore, the detail influence of the sampling time, sampling frequency and chirp-rate upon the resolution was analyzed by partial differential equation. Simulation results and analysis indicate that increasing the sampling time can enhance the resolution, but the influence of the sampling frequency can he omitted. What＇s more, in multi-component LFM signal, the chirp-rate resolution of FrFT is no less than a minimal value, and it mainly dependent on the biggest value of chirp-rates, with which it has an approximately positive exponential relationship.

Order selection in fractional Fourier transform based beamforming

Traditionally,beamforming using fractional Fourier transform（FrFT） involves a trial-and-error based FrFT order selection which is impractical.A new numerical order selection scheme is presented based on fractional power spectra（FrFT moment） of the linear chirp signal.This method can adaptively determine the optimum FrFT order by maximizing the second-order central FrFT moment.This makes the desired chirp signal substantially concentrated whereas the noise is rejected considerably.This improves the mean square error minimization beamformer by reducing effectively the signal-noise cross terms due to the finite data length de-correlation operation.Simulation results show that the new method works well under a wide range of signal to noise ratio and signal to interference ratio.

INTERFERENCE MITIGATING BASED ON FRACTIONAL FOURIER TRANSFORM IN TRANSFORM DOMAIN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

The method of FRactional Fourier Transform (FRFT) is introduced to Transform Domain Communication System (TDCS) for signal transforming in the paper after theoretical analysis. The method yields optimal Basis Function (BF) by FRFT with optimal transform angle. The TDCS using the proposed method has wider usable spectrum, stronger robustness and better ability of anti non-stationary jamming than using usual methods, such as Fourier Transform (FT), Auto Regressive (AR), Wavelet Transform (WT), etc. The main simulation results are as follows. First, the Bit Error Rate (BER) Pb is close to theoretical bound of no jamming no matter in single tone or in linear chirp interference. Second, the interference-to-signal ratio J /E is at least 12dB more than that of Direct Spread Spectrum System (DSSS) under the same BER if the spectrum hopping-to-signal ratio is 1:20 in chirp plus hopping interfering. Third, the Eb /N 0(when estimation difference is 90% between trans- mitter and receiver) is about 3.5dB or about 0.5dB (when estimation difference is 10% between transmitter and receiver) more than that of theoretical result when no estimation difference un-der Pb=10-2.

Joint Timing and Frequency Synchronization for OFDM based on Fractional Fourier Transform

In this paper a joint timing and frequency synchronization method based on Fractional Fourier Transform （FIFT） is proposed for Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing （OFDM） system. The combination of two chirp signals with opposite chirp rates are used as the training signal, the received training signal with timing and frequency offset is transformed by FrFT and the two peaks representing two chirps in FrFT domain are detected, then the position coordinates of the two peaks are precisely corrected and substituted into an equation group to calculate timing and frequency offset simultaneously. This method only needs one FrFT calculation to implement synchronization, the computational complexity is equal to that of FFT and less than that of correlation or maximum likelihood calculation of existing methods, and estimation range of frequency offset is Large, greater than half the signal bandwidth, while the simulation results show that even at low SNR it can accurately estimate timing and frequency offset and the estimation error is less than that of existing methods.

Novel uncertainty relations associated with fractional Fourier transform

In this paper the relations between two spreads, between two group delays, and between one spread and one group delay in fractional Fourier transform （FRFT） domains, are presented and three theorems on the uncertainty principle in FRFT domains are also developed. Theorem 1 gives the bounds of two spreads in two FRFT domains. Theorem 2 shows the uncertainty relation between two group delays in two FRFT domains. Theorem 3 presents the crossed uncertainty relation between one group delay and one spread in two FRFT domains. The novelty of their results lies in connecting the products of different physical measures and giving their physical interpretations. The existing uncertainty principle in the FRFT domain is only a special ease of theorem 1, and the conventional uncertainty principle in time-frequency domains is a special case of their results. Therefore, three theorems develop the relations of two spreads in time-frequency domains into the relations between two spreads, between two group delays, and between one spread and one group delay in FRFT domains.

Research Progress of the Sampling Theorem Associated with the Fractional Fourier Transform

Sampling is a bridge between continuous-time and discrete-time signals,which is import-ant to digital signal processing.The fractional Fourier transform(FrFT)that serves as a generaliz-ation of the FT can characterize signals in multiple fractional Fourier domains,and therefore can provide new perspectives for signal sampling and reconstruction.In this paper,we review recent de-velopments of the sampling theorem associated with the FrFT,including signal reconstruction and fractional spectral analysis of uniform sampling,nonuniform samplings due to various factors,and sub-Nyquist sampling,where bandlimited signals in the fractional Fourier domain are mainly taken into consideration.Moreover,we provide several future research topics of the sampling theorem as-sociated with the FrFT.

Quasi-LFM radar waveform recognition based on fractional Fourier transform and time-frequency analysis

Recent advances in electronics have increased the complexity of radar signal modulation.The quasi-linear frequency modulation(quasi-LFM)radar waveforms(LFM,Frank code,P1−P4 code)have similar time-frequency distributions,and it is difficult to identify such signals using traditional time-frequency analysis methods.To solve this problem,this paper proposes an algorithm for automatic recognition of quasi-LFM radar waveforms based on fractional Fourier transform and time-frequency analysis.First of all,fractional Fourier transform and the Wigner-Ville distribution(WVD)are used to determine the number of main ridgelines and the tilt angle of the target component in WVD.Next,the standard deviation of the target component's width in the signal's WVD is calculated.Finally,an assembled classifier using neural network is built to recognize different waveforms by automatically combining the three features.Simulation results show that the overall recognition rate of the proposed algorithm reaches 94.17%under 0 dB.When the training data set and the test data set are mixed with noise,the recognition rate reaches 89.93%.The best recognition accuracy is achieved when the size of the training set is taken as 400.The algorithm complexity can meet the requirements of real-time recognition.

New Eigenmodes of Propagation in Quadratic Graded Index Media and Complex Fractional Fourier Transform

By introducing a convenient complex form of the α-th 2-dimensional fractional Fourier transform (CFFT) operation we find that it possesses new eigenmodes which are two-mode Hermite polynomials. We prove the eigenvalues of propagation in quadratic graded-index medium over a definite distance are the same as the eigenvalues of the α-th CFFT, which means that our definition of the α-th CFFT is physically meaningful.

Rejection of Linear FM Interference in DSSS System Based on Fractional Fourier Transform

A new method for the rejection of linear frequency modulation (LFM) interference in direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) system based on the fractional Fourier transform is proposed, and the configuration of the receiver with an interference exciser is also presented. Based on the property that the fractional Fourier transform of a signal is equivalent to rotating the signal in the time-frequency plane, the received signal is transform into a certain fractional Fourier domain, this transform will result in the least spectrum overlap between the signal and interference. Then, a narrowband filter is exploited to extract most of the interference energy. The performance analyses show that remarkable improvements in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and bit-error-ratio (BER) are obtained.
