| Abstract | Four-dimensional (4-D) antenna arrays formed by introducing time as the forth controlling variable are able to be used to regulate the radiation fields in space, time and frequency domains. Thus, 4-D antenna arrays are actually the excellent platform for achieving physical layer secure transmission. However, traditional direction modulation technique of 4-D antenna arrays always inevitably leads to higher sidelobe level of radiation pattern or less randomness. Regarding to the problem, this paper proposed a physical layer secure transmission technique based on 4-D antenna arrays, which combine the advantages of traditional phased arrays, and 4-D arrays for improving the physical layer security in wireless networks. This technique is able to reduce the radiated power at sidelobe region by optimizing the time sequences. Moreover, the signal distortion caused by time modulation can be compensated in the desired direction by pre-modulating transmitted signals. |
