Abstract

Invention presented here relates to Low Probability of Exploitation and Anti Jamming communication system offering high spectral efficiency. The object of the present invention is achieved by hopping in polarization domain and by employing an adaptive polarization-nulling algorithm (FIG. 18, H [2,2]) to detect and eliminate jamming signal. The use of signals which hops or spreads in polarization domain does not need wide frequency spectrum due to which, the said modulation when employed at the physical layer offers and extremely secure and survivable wireless communication at very high data rates.

Claims

1. A secure wireless communication system and method offering low probability of exploitation and anti jamming features to the communication link, the system comprising:

a pseudo random polarization shift keying modulation method which employs the State of Polarization of an electromagnetic wave as the modulation parameter;

a polarization agile antenna system which comprises of a signal processor and a microstrip array to generate, transmit and receive the desired polarizations;

a transmitter which comprises of a signal processor and/or Field Programmable Gate Array for mapping data onto a specific State of Polarization, the transmitter generates the required signals of appropriate amplitude and phase for feeding the polarization agile antenna structure and receives feedback from the receiver to adaptively decide the constellation points and their transmission power aimed at offering higher jamming margin; and

a receiving system which employs a cross polarization interference canceller, a Least squares based algorithm for channel estimation, an adaptive polarization nulling algorithm for anti jamming and other necessary algorithms for efficient reception of the digital information.

2. A system of claim 1 wherein the secure and anti jamming wireless communication system does not require spectral redundancy.

3. A transmitter of claim 1 which performs a scanning of the channel for determining the jammer polarization before performing the data transmission and subsequently transmits the training/synchronization part of the data in the orthogonal polarization.

4. The polarization agile antenna system of claim 1 wherein the antenna array consists of two separate antennas which are orthogonal in polarization such as linear horizontal polarization &

linear vertical polarizations or left handed circular polarization &

right handed circular polarizations.

5. The method of claim 1 whereby the cryptic nature of the signals are enhanced by using multiple level of randomness in that a pseudo random code is used to select the State of Polarizations from a multitude of constellation sets in the polarization domain and to map the digital information on to electromagnetic signal of varying polarizations.

6. A method of claim 5 wherein the pseudo-random noise sequence code is decimated to two subsequences, one of which is used to select the constellation arrangement and the other to randomize the data or specific symbol assignment within a constellation arrangement.

7. The system of claim 1 wherein the receiver consists of a dual polarization array antenna to receive the transmitted signal, a cross polarization interference cancellation algorithm, a maximum likely algorithm to receive the signal efficiently, and an adaptive polarization nulling algorithm for anti jamming.

8. The system of claim 7 wherein the adaptive polarization nulling algorithm of the receiver provides feedback to the transmitter about the presence and polarization of the jammer and the transmitter adaptively increases the power of the signal transmitted through the antenna which is more affected by jamming and correspondingly reduces the power of the signal transmitted through the antenna which is less affected by jamming signal.

9. The system of claim 8 wherein the transmitter on receiving the feedback from the receiver about the presence of the jammer adaptively changes the constellation set to another set which employ polarizations which are less affected by the jamming power.
