Abstract: A Frequency Position Modulation system for encoding signals for transmission. A signal's discrete frequency support is used to represent symbols. The signal can be non-uniformly spread over many GHz of instantaneous bandwidth, resulting in a communications system that is resilient to interference and difficult to intercept. The FPM symbols are recovered using adaptive projections that use an analog polynomial nonlinearity paired with an analog-to-digital converter that is sampling at a rate at that is only a fraction of the instantaneous bandwidth of the signal. In the presence of partial band interference, nonlinearities generated by the transmitter are exploited by the receiver to help unambiguously recover tones that could otherwise be lost. The nonlinearities are generated by driving the power amplifier of the transmitter into saturation to induce distortions at a desired level.

Abstract: A system and method for authenticating a radio-frequency identification tags based on the features of the modulation features of the RFID signal. Dynamic wavelet fingerprint features are extracted from the signal by applying a wavelet transform to the signal to determine wavelet coefficients at a plurality of times and frequency scale values, creating a binary image from the wavelet coefficients, and measuring image features of at least one fingerprint object in the binary image. The measured features of the binary image fingerprint objects are compared to a database of features for the signal's EPC to authenticate the RFID tag.
