Abstract

In recent years, physical layer security (PLS) techniques have been paid considerable attention due to its high-security level and strong compatibility. However, the request of the superior legitimate channel is the Achilles’ Heel of PLS. A significant challenge exists in ensuring information confidentiality when the eavesdropper locates at user’s direction in the multi-antenna system. To overcome this limitation, we propose a novel framework to achieve secure communication via distributed split single sideband (SSB) time modulated array (TMA). By strategically dividing the I/Q paths of the transmitted signals into geographically separated subarrays, we establish the non-aliasing zone to achieve error-free…
