RADIOELECTRONIC AND COMPUTER SYSTEMS

The subject of the research is the processes of formation and processing of signals with orthogonal frequency divisionand multiplexing (OFDM) of chaotic sequences to ensure the stealthiness of data transmission. The research synthesizes the method for increasing the stealthiness of information transmission systems based on signals with OFDM-modulation on the basis of forming an analytical signal and chaotic mapping of Chebyshev polynomial. It would enable ensuring reliable information protection in radio transmission systems that use signals with OFDM-modulation, at the cost of the high level of structural and independent and Identically distributed (IID) (the degree of signal masking under noise) stealthiness of the signals. The tasks are to investigate the effectiveness of the developed method for increasing the stealthiness of information transmission systems by numerical assessment of the level of structural and IID-stealthiness and the quality of recovery of the masked information on the receiving side. The methods used are for the formation and processing of chaotic subcarriers in the signal with OFDM-modulation – methods of nonlinear dynamics, approaches to the formation of analytical chaotic signal and methods of the statistical theory of observation processing; to assess the level of structural and IID-stealthiness – steganography theory, a method of nonlinear time series analysis based on the use of BDS-statistics. The following results are obtained: the method for increasing the stealthiness of information transmission systems based on the use of signals with OFDM-modulation and chaotic subcarriers has been synthesized, has also evaluated the level of structural and IID-stealthiness of signals, that generated using the proposed method. It is established that compared with systems that use harmonic signals with OFDM-modulation, chaotic signals with OFDM-modulation can provide a higher level of IID-stealthiness. It was confirmed by the obtained results of visual, frequency, statistical and dynamic analysis. To assess the level of structural stealthiness, the expenditure of detecting the generated signals with a given probability has been estimated. The obtained results showed that the level of structural stealthiness increased by 2…2.5 times. It has shown that to ensure the required level of recovery of the generated signal, the signal-to-noise ratio at the input of the receiver must be greater than 4 dB. Conclusions. The scientific novelty of the obtained results lies in the following: for the first time, the method of subcarrier formation for signals with OFDM-modulation based on the use of analytical signal and Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind of tertiary is obtained. The proposed method provides the required level of structural and IID-stealthiness of information transmission systems, compared with conventional methods of signal generation with OFDM-modulation, due to the similarity of the generated signals with “white” noise.
