Example 2:
the specific implementation process of the present invention is described by taking a standard bluetooth transmission system and a two-path impedance-switched constant envelope signal physical layer hidden transmission device as an example.
The working frequency band of the standard Bluetooth transmission protocol is the ISM frequency band of 2.4GHz, and because more radios work in the frequency band, the Bluetooth transmission system usually adopts a frequency hopping mode to resist interference in the transmission process. The Bluetooth transmission system has 79 frequency points, the carrier frequency is (2402+ k) MHz, and the frequency hopping rate is 1600 hops per second. In the baseband, the Bluetooth transmission system adopts GFSK constant envelope modulation as the modulation mode of the original information, and the information transmission rate is 1 Mb/s.
The system uses a standard Bluetooth transmission system as a constant envelope signal transmitting module, an SPST radio frequency switch HMC1055 and two paths of impedances as impedance switching modules, m sequences are adopted for hidden information modulation, when the Bluetooth transmission system transmits data, the hidden information is framed according to a flow chart shown in figure 3, and the information rate is 1 kHz.
Since the GFSK constant-envelope modulated signal is frequency-conversion modulated, no extra requirements are imposed on the amplitude and phase of the signal. In addition, because the amplitude and the frequency of the GFSK constant envelope modulation signal are in an orthogonal relation, the modulation on the signal frequency does not affect the signal amplitude, and conversely, the modulation on the signal amplitude also does not affect the signal frequency. Therefore, on the premise that the signal transmitting power and the receiving sensitivity meet the normal transmission requirement of the signal, the establishment of the hidden channel in the GFSK signal envelope has feasibility.
As shown in fig. 5, the present embodiment discloses a physical layer hidden transmission method based on a constant envelope signal, which includes the following specific steps:
step one, a GFSK modulation and transmission module generates a Gaussian frequency modulation signal with constant envelope and outputs the Gaussian frequency modulation signal to a radio frequency front end;
and step two, reading the hidden information in the register, generating the hidden information according to the graph shown in fig. 3, obtaining high and low level signals through a level conversion module, and controlling the switch to switch the impedance through the level signals. If the hidden information sequence is 1, the radio frequency switch is in an interruption state, and the alternating current signal I completely passes through the impedance Z1Signal amplitude V1 ═ I × Z1; if the hidden information sequence is 0, the radio frequency switch is in a closed state, part of the alternating current signal I' passes through the impedance Z2 by the branch circuit, and the signal amplitude of the main circuit is changed into V2=(I-I`)×Z1Causing the signal envelope to fluctuate, such that the hidden information is hidden in the original signal envelope;
step three, the transmitting end synchronously generates interference information according to the diagram shown in fig. 3, and the signals of the branches in the step two are further utilized and modulated through the on-off of the switch, so that the fluctuation of the signal envelope of the receiving end is further caused, and the original information cannot be demodulated even if the change of the signal envelope is detected.
Step three, as shown in fig. 6, a signal time domain waveform received by a receiving end is divided into two paths of signals with the same power and phase by a splitter after receiving a radio frequency transmission signal, wherein one path of signal is subjected to down-conversion, GFSK demodulation and other processes to extract frequency information therein, and original information can be obtained through synchronization, filtering and judgment;
and step four, the other path is specially used for extracting envelope information, and different signal amplitude values before and after switching can be obtained from discrete envelope value sampling points. Due to the existence of the interference signal, the receiving end signal can be represented by the following formula:
y(t)=h1x1(t-τ1)+h2x2(t-τ2)+N(t)
wherein x1(t-τ1) For the transmitting end of the hidden information, x2(t-τ1) To send outWhen the receiving end and the transmitting end are fixed, the channel coefficients of the receiving end and the transmitting end are both constant. Thus, let h1For transmitting channel coefficients, h, corresponding to antennas for the hidden information2The channel coefficient corresponding to the antenna for transmitting the interference information.
From the above equation, h can be obtained by using the 01 sequence to which no interference information is added in fig. 31Corresponding value, and then through the received signal, find h2The corresponding value.
Step five, based on h1And h2The corresponding value can extract the hidden signal, and the 01 sequence corresponding to the hidden information can be obtained through threshold self-adaptive judgment, and the hidden information can be correspondingly solved according to the coding form of the hidden information, namely the m sequence
Specifically, the present embodiment was tested in an indoor scenario as shown in fig. 7. The power of the transmitting device Tx is set to 10dBm, the receiving power of the receiving device A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I is set to 60dB, the modulation depths are set to 0.5, the placing positions are shown in fig. 6, and the corresponding test result hidden information error rate curve is shown in fig. 8. For the bluetooth signal and the hidden information, the A, B, C, D, F, J device can complete demodulation without error, i.e. the error rate is 0. The error rate of the E equipment for the hidden information is 0.52 percent; the bit error rate of the G equipment for the hidden information is 0.032%; the error rate of the device I for the hidden information is 0.81 percent; the bit error rate of the H equipment for the hidden information is 0.91 percent;
under the experimental conditions, the maximum transmission distance of the sending device for sending the hidden information is greater than or equal to 15.44 m. It should be emphasized that, in specific implementation, the transmission distance may be further increased by increasing the received power and increasing the modulation depth, and the security of the transmission of the hidden information may also be ensured by further encrypting the hidden information in the encryption manners such as link encryption, node encryption, end-to-end encryption, and the like.
The transmission of the hidden information can be realized by the physical layer hidden transmission method based on the GFSK modulation signal. Because the information is hidden and demodulated in the transmission process without influencing the modulation and demodulation of the original transmission system, the possibility that the hidden transmission system is discovered is greatly reduced; because the interference signal is added in the transmission process, the possibility that the hidden information is demodulated by the monitoring end is greatly reduced even if a hidden transmission system is found.
The above description is only for the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention. Variations and modifications in other variations will occur to those skilled in the art upon reading the foregoing description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise embodiments disclosed, and obviously, many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching.
