Designing Anti-Jamming Receivers for NR-DCSK Systems Utilizing ICA, WPD, and VMD Methods

Abstract

In this brief, we consider an advanced noise reduction differential chaotic shift keying system in which a single antenna source communicates with a single antenna destination under the attack of a single antenna jammer. We design an anti-jamming receiver for the considered system. Particularly, we propose a variational mode decomposition—independent component analysis—wavelet packet decomposition (VMD-ICA-WPD) structure, in which VMD method is first exploited to generate multiple signals from the single received one. Second, ICA method is applied to coarsely separate chaotic and jamming signals. After that, WPD method is used to finely estimate and mitigate jamming signals that exist on all outputs of ICA method. Finally, an inverse ICA procedure is carried out, followed by a summation, and the outcome is passed through the conventional correlation receiver for recovering the transmitted information. Simulation results show that the proposed receiver provides significant system performance enhancement compared to that given by the conventional counterparts.
