    摘要: A method for transmitting covertly employs three features in a novel combination to create a transmission waveform that has no detectable artifacts. First, the method employs spread spectrum, such as a direct sequence spread spectrum signal, to transmit the power level below the noise floor. Second, the method modulates the phase of each chip in the spread spectrum signal using a chaotic sequence. Third, the method filters the transmission signal using a pulse shaped filter to depress blind detection features in the amplitude modulation and higher order power spectral densities. The novel combination of these features results in a practically invisible and undetectable transmission waveform. Many other features are disclosed herein to optimize this combination.

    摘要: A receiver includes: a correlation value calculation unit calculating a first cross-correlation function between a received signal, having a preamble spread with an up chirp and a down chirp, and the up chirp and calculating a second cross-correlation function between the received signal and the down chirp; a power value calculation unit calculating first and second power values of the first and second cross-correlation functions; a correlation power memory storing the first and second power values at each sample timing for one period of a spread code; a threshold determination unit determining first and second estimated timings from the first and second power values for one period of the spread code, respectively; and an estimation unit estimating a spread code timing of a transmitter using the first and second estimated timings, and performing coarse estimation of a frequency offset with respect to the transmitter.

    摘要: The present disclosure discloses an M-ary DCSK method based on chaotic shape-forming filtering. The method includes the following steps: at S1, parameters of a communication system are set; at S2, HP information and LP information to be sent in each time slot are prepared; at S3, the information to be sent is modulated; at S4, a chaotic carrier is generated through a chaotic shape-forming filter; at S5, a transmitted signal is prepared; at S6, down-carrier frequency and matched filter is performed to a received signal; at S7, the sampling of a maximum SNR point is performed to an output signal of a matched filter; at S8, the decision of high priority information bits is resumed; and at S9, the decision of low priority information bits is resumed.

    摘要: A Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver demodulates code shift keying (CSK) data utilizing a binary search. The GNSS receiver receives a signal including a pseudorandom noise (PRN) code modulated by code shift keying (CSK) to represent a symbol (i.e., CSK modulated symbol). The GNSS receiver maintains a plurality of receiver codes each representing a different shift in chips to the PRN code. The GNSS receiver performs a linear combination of portions of the receiver codes. In an embodiment, the GNSS receiver compares correlation power level value for respective portions of the receiver codes to demodulate the CSK data. In a further embodiment, the GNSS receiver compares the correlation power level values for portions of receiver codes with power detection threshold values to demodulate the CSK data. In a further embodiment, the GNSS receiver utilizes signs of the correlation power level values to demodulate the CSK data.
