Anti-Interference Communication Using Computational Antenna

Abstract

This letter proposes a novel anti-interference communication method leveraging computational antennas, utilizing time averaging and 1-bit reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) to achieve robust signal modulation with minimal hardware complexity. We develop a communication model for computational antennas and propose an efficient signal processing algorithm optimized for temporal modulation. A USRP-based experimental platform is established to validate the approach under strong interference conditions (e.g., 5 dB jamming-to-signal ratio). Experimental results reveal up to an 80.9\% reduction in bit error rate (BER) and effective restoration of distorted images in transmission tests. Compared to conventional techniques like spread spectrum or frequency hopping, which require significant spectral resources, our method offers superior anti-interference performance without additional spectral overhead. This research provides valuable insights for radar detection, military communications, and next-generation wireless networks.
