Embodiment 1

[0043] Using a four-dimensional antenna array to realize direction modulation and secure communication has the advantages of simple system structure, easy engineering implementation, and strong confidentiality ability. It is a novel secure communication method.

[0044] The invention moves the phase center of the antenna array by controlling the working time sequence of each antenna array, the modulation of the transmitted signal is completed at the antenna end, and the modulation of digital signals such as BPSK, QPSK and M spread spectrum sequences can be realized, and the signal waveform is related to the direction , so as to realize the direction modulation of the signal. The transmitted signal not only has different power levels in each direction, but also carries different information: in the direction of the desired receiver, the information to be transmitted is synthesized; in the other directions, the signal waveform is distorted and does not contain the information to ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a four-dimensional antenna array based secret communication system and a method thereof. The system basically comprises an antenna unit, a high-speed radio frequency switch, a high-precision local oscillation source, a power amplifier, a switch control circuit and the like. The system and the method are characterized in that a phase center of an array is moved by controlling of working time sequences of all array elements (or subarrays) in the antenna array, modulation of information is finished at an antenna end, signals which are required to be transmitted are synthesized in a specific direction only, signals which are required to be transmitted can not be synthesized in other directions, a plurality of modulation methods, such as quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), binary phase shift keying (2PSK) and M spread spectrum sequences, can be achieved, and the structure of a transmitter can be simplified. Compared with traditional secret communication methods, the method is a novel physical layer encryption method and can effectively resist eavesdropping receivers in side lobe directions. The system and the method are applied to wireless communication systems.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of wireless communication, and particularly relates to using a four-dimensional antenna array to control the phase center of the array, so as to realize direction modulation and secret communication. Background technique [0002] The concept of a four-dimensional antenna array was first proposed in 1959 by Shanks and Bickmore of the Hughes Aircraft Company in the United States. The four-dimensional antenna array is formed by introducing the time variable into the conventional antenna array with three-dimensional spatial changes. The amplitude and phase weighting of the spatial array elements can be realized by time weighting, thereby increasing the design freedom of the antenna array and making the time modulation Compared with conventional antenna arrays, antenna arrays have more design advantages, such as achieving low sidelobes under uniform excitation, realizing multi-beam and beam scanning, etc. Different from c...
