Abstract
A transmission system is used in a method of transmitting a camouflaged transmission of signals by generating an underlying transmission comprising a plasma transmission discharge constituting background noise having a first amplitude and generating an embedded transmission of signals within the underlying transmission.
Core Innovation
The invention provides a method of transmitting a camouflaged transmission of signals by generating an underlying transmission comprising a plasma transmission discharge constituting background noise having a first amplitude. The method further generates an embedded transmission of signals within the underlying transmission so that at least a percentage of the embedded transmission has a second amplitude within the first amplitude of the underlying transmission. In this way, the embedded transmission is accommodated within the background-noise amplitude range of the underlying plasma discharge.
The invention additionally enables receiving and revealing the embedded transmission by determining a known structure of the plasma transmission discharge associated with the underlying transmission. A filter based on the known structure is applied to reveal the embedded transmission. In particular embodiments, revealing includes applying a bandpass filter to the received camouflaged transmission using the known plasma-discharge structure as a basis.
A system is also provided for generation, transmission, and reception of a camouflaged transmission of signals. The system includes a first subsystem configured to generate the underlying plasma-discharge background having a first amplitude, and a second subsystem configured to generate the embedded transmission within that underlying transmission so that at least 90% of the embedded transmission has a second amplitude within the first amplitude. The system further includes a receiver configured to receive the camouflaged transmission and extract the embedded transmission.
Claims Coverage
The document identifies three independent claims: clm-00001, clm-00007, and clm-00010. Across these claims, the inventive coverage centers on amplitude-concealed embedding of a signal in a plasma-discharge noise background, and structure-guided revealing/extraction using filtering and/or a processor informed by known structure.
Amplitude-concealed embedded transmission within plasma noise background
Generating an underlying transmission comprising a plasma transmission discharge constituting background noise having a first amplitude; and generating an embedded transmission of signals within the underlying transmission, at least a percentage of the embedded transmission having a second amplitude within the first amplitude of the underlying transmission.
Known-structure determination and structure-based filtering to reveal embedded transmission
Receiving a camouflaged transmission of signals; determining a known structure of the plasma transmission discharge associated with the underlying transmission; and applying a filter based on the known structure of the plasma transmission discharge to reveal the embedded transmission.
System with subsystems generating underlying and embedded transmissions and receiver extraction
A first subsystem configured to generate an underlying transmission comprising a plasma transmission discharge constituting background noise having a first amplitude; a second subsystem configured to generate an embedded transmission of signals within the underlying transmission, at least 90% of the embedded transmission having a second amplitude within the first amplitude of the underlying transmission; and a receiver configured to receive the camouflaged transmission of signals and extract the embedded transmission of signals from the camouflaged transmission of signals.
The independent claims collectively cover amplitude-concealed embedding within a plasma-discharge background, structure-based revealing using filtering, and a system with generation subsystems and a receiver configured for extraction.
