Method for encrypting a communication
signal s(t) of bandwidth Bs to be transmitted by a
transmitter, which is generated by M samples with an
equidistant sampling rate R B is represented, where the M samples are divided alternately into N
processing branches, resulting in N partial signals with a sampling rate of R B / N, where N ≥ 2, - where in a first
processing branch the sample values 1, N +1, 2N +1, .... MN, - in a second
processing branch the sample values 2, N+2, 2N+2,.... M-(N+1) and - in the N ten processing
branch containing the sample values N, 2N, 3N,... M, whereby the sample values of each partial
signal of the N processing branches are each converted into an analog partial
signal, where the analogue partial signals in the N processing branches are multiplied by a key function shifted from processing branch to processing branch by Δt = 1 / Bs = 1 / (NΔf), where the key functions in the individual branches were initially orthogonal to each other, before their orthogonality was removed by applying a shift key, which imposed defined phase changes on the key functions, where the partial signals of all processing branches modified by the key function are added together to form an output signal s'(t) and sent.
