GAN-based Technology of Generating Spoofing-jamming I/Q Signal

<p>The existing wireless communication interference methods rely heavily on the characteristics of the target signals obtained in communication reconnaissance, require complex prior knowledge, and have problems in keeping up with the dynamic changes of relevant parameters. This paper proposes a GAN-based tech-nology of generating spoofing-jamming I/Q signals. The jammer will be able to deceive and interfere with op-ponents through GAN by generating spoofing-jamming I/Q signals highly correlated to real I/Q signals without prior knowledge. This paper first introduces the principle of GAN and the GAN model to be adopted; uses a software radio system composed of LabView and NI USRP software and hardware plat-forms to simulate real communication scenarios to collect real I/Q signal data; generates spoofing-jamming I/Q signals through GAN model; uses t-SNE algorithm to perform dimensionality reduction on both the real and the spoofing-jamming I/Q signal data to visualize their distributions; finally, tests the spoofing-jamming I/Q signals on receiver’s pre-trained classifier. The experimental results show that GAN provides an effective method for generating high-quality spoofing-jamming I/Q signals.</p> <p> </p>

Plataforma educativa para desarrollo de sistemas de software radio mediante modulación QPSK en Octave y Arduino

Nowadays, the development of software radio based systems has allowed the transmission of data at high speeds and frequencies in the order of Gigahertz (Jovanovic, 2018). For this, the digital system is characterized by using digital modulation techniques in software through transmission symbols in the DigitalEnd stage, applying digital-analog (DAC) and analogdigital (ADC) converters to vary the sampling frequency and transmit the data in the Front End, (Chien, 2001). This work presents a digital educational platform to simulate the characteristics of a Software Radio system and not a web platform. The present investigation is focused on the characterization of signals modulated by Octave considering in the first instance the quadrature modulation QPSK, where the transmission of the modulated signal is carried out by means of the Arduino board in a digital port, with a digital-analog approach (DAC) using PWM modulation a RC filter and an amplifier circuit, which synthesize the signal considering the limitations of the Arduino board. The proposed design presents an electronic platform that will allow the understanding of software-based radio systems.

Design and implementation of AD9361-based software radio receiver

Existing software radio platforms constructed by discrete devices have many disadvantages, such as high power consumption, high cost, and poor portability. In this study, an AD9361-based software radio communication system was designed on the basis of the zero-IF bandpass sampling software radio structure to solve the poor universality and expansibility problem of traditional software radio receivers. In the AD9361-based software radio communication system, the influences of channels on received signals and the inter-symbol interference caused by the multipath configuration are offset and eliminated by the minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) equalization algorithm. The simulation analyses on the core functions, including group detection, frame synchronization, channel estimation, and frequency-domain equilibrium, of the designed receiver was performed by ModelSim. The receiving functions of the software radio were realized by the core radio frequency (RF) board of AD9361 and the digital baseband development board of ZC706. The signal frequency spectra received and sent by the designed receiver overlap on the basis of the joint debugging and testing of the RF and digital baseband modules. Test results demonstrate that the designed software radio receiver has a reasonable structural design and can meet the design requirements in terms of overall performance. Additionally, the repeated development process of traditional software radio receivers is simplified, and the integration level and expansibility of the system can be improved. The results can provide valuable references for the development of universal software radio receivers.

Using of Residual Number System as a Mathematical Basis for Software Defined Radio

Introduction. Іn the classic view, program-defined radio system (Software Defined Radio, SDR) is a central processor, equipped with receiving and transmitting units. In order to speed up computational operations in SDR systems, it is proposed to use the system of residual classes as a mathematical basis. The results of research conducted by various groups of scientists in order to find ways to improve the performance of computing tools, methods of organizing an effective system for detecting and correcting errors, as well as building reliable computer systems, make it possible to assert that, within the limits of positional number systems, no fundamental changes can be expected in these areas without a significant increase in operating frequencies and hardware complications. The advantage of this method is that a software radio system can consist of several FPGAs and serve several independent radio channels, and reprogramming the properties allows you to change the number and components of message processors depending on current operating conditions. Research method. The equations in this section show the parallel nature of the RNS, free from bit transfers. These operations are called modular, because for it takes only one clock cycle to process the numerical values. To convert numbers from the binary position number system to RNS we use an algorithm based on the application of a distributed arithmetic. However, operations such as division, comparison of two numbers, and the detection of a sign are laborious and expensive in RNS Several decisions were proposed for these problem operations. They consist in the absence of the process of converting a residue into a binary system (reverse transformation) by using digital-to-analog converters in RNS. On the other hand, choosing the right set of modules is another important issue for building an effective RNS with a sufficient dynamic range. Results and analysis. Summing up some results, it can be noted that the system of residual classes allows to significantly improve the parameters of a computer in SDR especially in functional block a Direct Digital Synthesizers (DDS) in comparison with a computer built on the same physical and technological basis, but in a positional system calculation, and also to receive new more progressive constructive and structural solutions. The experimental results shows that the presented techniques offer interesting advantages for FIR filters characterized by high dynamic range and high number of taps especially when full custom multipliers are not available in the target FPGA architecture or when they must to be used for different purposes. Conclusion. Thus, the proposed system introduces clear advantages over existing systems and shows performance advantages and can be used to build modern communication systems. The proposed architecture reduces the size of the pipeline adders and multipliers which is a very important factor in the design SDR for fast work.

Design and implementation of hybrid CORDIC algorithm based on phase rotation estimation for NCO.

The numerical controlled oscillator has wide application in radar, digital receiver, and software radio system. Firstly, this paper introduces the traditional CORDIC algorithm. Then in order to improve computing speed and save resources, this paper proposes a kind of hybrid CORDIC algorithm based on phase rotation estimation applied in numerical controlled oscillator (NCO). Through estimating the direction of part phase rotation, the algorithm reduces part phase rotation and add-subtract unit, so that it decreases delay. Furthermore, the paper simulates and implements the numerical controlled oscillator by Quartus II software and Modelsim software. Finally, simulation results indicate that the improvement over traditional CORDIC algorithm is achieved in terms of ease of computation, resource utilization, and computing speed/delay while maintaining the precision. It is suitable for high speed and precision digital modulation and demodulation.

SUBSTRATE INTEGRATED WAVEGUIDE FREQUENCY-AGILE SLOT ANTENNA AND ITS MULTIBEAM APPLICATION

A new technique for designing the substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) frequency-agile slot antenna is presented in this paper. Similar to the metallic waveguide counterpart, the SIW is a uniconductor guided-wave structure and inherently di-cult in the electronically tunable applications. To solve this problem, a single slot etched on the top conductor layer of a conventional antenna is instead of two slots to construct an isolated area, which is convenient for the DC bias. The electric length of slots can then be adjusted through two shunt varactors welded near the center of slot. As such, a SIW frequency-agile slot antenna is realized and fabricated to cover the frequency of 2:30 » 2:74GHz with difierent bias voltages. Experiments verify our theory analysis and design process. Then, a frequency-agile multibeam antenna is developed to cover several frequency bands while switching between four difierent radiation patterns pointing at difierent spatial locations for each frequency. It presents an excellent candidate for software and cognitive radio system applications.

High Performance Channel Decoders on CELL Broadband Engine for WiMAX System

Wireless baseband processing, which is characterized by high computational complexity and high data throughput, is regarded as the most challenging issue for software radio (SR) systems, especially for the General Purpose Processor (GPP)-based SR systems. To overcome this implementation difficulty in SR systems, the multicore architecture has been proposed as the GPP-based SR platform, for example, multicore Central Processing Unit (CPU), Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) and Cell processors. In this paper, the Cell processor is considered as the core component in the GPP-based SR platform, and the channel decoding modules for convolutional, Turbo and Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes of WiMAX systems are investigated and efficiently implemented on Cell processor. With a single Synergistic Processor Element (SPE) running at 3.2GHz, the implemented channel decoders can throughput up to 30Mbps, 1.36Mbps and 1.71Mbps for the above three codes, respectively. Moreover, the decoding modules can be easily integrated to the SR system and can provide a highly integrated SR solution.

Software radio architecture with smart antennas: a tutorial on algorithms and complexity

There has been considerable interest in using antenna arrays in wireless communication networks to increase the capacity and decrease the cochannel interference. Adaptive beamforming with smart antennas at the receiver increases the carrier-to-interference ratio (CIR) in a wireless link. This paper considers a wireless network with beamforming capabilities at the receiver which allows two or more transmitters to share the same channel to communicate with the base station. The concrete computational complexity and algorithm structure of a base station are considered in terms of a software radio system model, initially with an omnidirectional antenna. The software radio computational model is then expanded to characterize a network with smart antennas. The application of the software radio smart antenna is demonstrated through two examples. First, traffic improvement in a network with a smart antenna is considered, and the implementation of a hand-off algorithm in the software radio is presented. The blocking probabilities of the calls and total carried traffic in the system under different traffic policies are derived. The analytical and numerical results show that adaptive beamforming at the receiver reduces the probability of blocking and forced termination of the calls and increases the total carried traffic in the system. Then, a joint beamforming and power control algorithm is implemented in a software radio smart antenna in a CDMA network. This shows that, by using smart antennas, each user can transmit with much lower power, and therefore the system capacity increases significantly.
