Repeater jamming suppression method for pulse Doppler fuze based on identity recognition and chaotic encryption

Pulse Doppler(PD) fuze is widely used in current battlefield. However, with the threat of repeater jamming, especially digital radio frequency memory technology, the deficiency in the anti-repeater jamming of a traditional PD fuze increasingly emerges. Therefore, a repeater jamming suppression method for a PD fuze based on identity(ID) recognition and chaotic encryption is proposed. Every fuze has its own ID which is encrypted with different chaotic binary sequences in every pulse period of the transmitted signal. The thumbtack-shaped ambiguity function shows a good resolution and distance cutoff characteristic. The ability of anti-repeater jamming is emphatically analyzed, and the results at different signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) show a strong anti-repeater jamming ability and range resolution that the proposed method possesses. Furthermore, the anti-repeater jamming ability is influenced by processing gain, bit error rate(BER) and correlation function. The simulation result validates the theoretical analysis, it shows the proposed method can significantly improve the anti-repeater jamming ability of a PD fuze.

A novel chaotic stream cipher and its application to palmprint template protection

Based on a coupled nonlinear dynamic filter （NDF）, a novel chaotic stream cipher is presented in this paper and employed to protect palmprint templates. The chaotic pseudorandom bit generator （PRBG） based on a coupled NDF, which is constructed in an inverse flow, can generate multiple bits at one iteration and satisfy the security requirement of cipher design. Then, the stream cipher is employed to generate cancelable competitive code palmprint biometrics for template protection. The proposed cancelable palmprint authentication system depends on two factors： the palmprint biometric and the password/token. Therefore, the system provides high-confidence and also protects the user＇s privacy. The experimental results of verification on the Hong Kong PolyU Palmprint Database show that the proposed approach has a large template re-issuance ability and the equal error rate can achieve 0.02%. The performance of the palmprint template protection scheme proves the good practicability and security of the proposed stream cipher.

A Novel Concatenated Chaotic Communication System

A strategy for a novel concatenated chaotic communication system is presented. The transmitter system comprises chaotic turbo encoder and logistic CSK block in a serially concatenated form. Chaotic turbo code is capable of reducing bit error rate (BER) of the chaotic system in the AWGN channel. Through the chaotic turbo encoder, the coded sequence, which has quasi-chaotic properties, will be transmitted into the logistic CSK block. Having a very sensitive dependence on initial conditions of the map, the logistic CSK block can also be taken as the chaotic authentication method. The receiver, which has logistic demodulation block and chaotic decoder, is a linear asymptotic approximation to the inverse of the transmitter system. A chaotic iterative soft-decision decoding algorithm is also developed based on conventional maximum A posteriori decoding algorithm. At last, a two-step authentication method of this chaotic system is also presented.

A high performance waveform and a new ranging method for the proximity detector

Signal modulation is an essential design factor for proximity detectors and directly affects the system's potential performance.In order to achieve the advantages of chaotic codes bi-phase modulation(CCBPM)and linear frequency modulation(LFM) simultaneously,this paper designed a waveform which combined chaotic codes bi-phase modulation and linear frequency modulation(CCBPM-LFM) for proximity detectors.The CCBPM-LFM waveform was analyzed in the aspect of time delay resolution(TDR) and Doppler tolerance(DT) based on ambiguity function(AF).Then,a ranging method,which we called instant correlation harmonic demodulation(ICHD),was presented for the detector using the CCBPM-LFM waveform.By combining time domain instant correlation with harmonic demodulation,the ICHD solved the problem caused by combination modulation and made the most of the linear frequency modulation(LFM) harmonics and the correlation of chaotic codes.Finally,a prototype was implemented and ranging experiments were carried out.From the theoretical analysis and experimental results,the proximity detector used the CCBPM-LFM waveform has an outstanding detection performance.
