摘要
This study proposes an intensity modulation/direct detection intermediate frequency-over-fiber (IFoF) system that generates a microwave orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) quantum-noise randomized phase-shift-keying (PSK) cipher. The system directly prevents wireless interception by an eavesdropper without a private key. We theoretically analyze the system and derive a fundamental tradeoff between the security and signal quality at an intermediate frequency (IF). The system achieves balanced security and signal quality. We experimentally demonstrate 4.09-Gbit/s PSK cipher generation at an IF of 3.6 GHz. The cipher has 2(16) phase levels, and more than 100 adjacent signals are masked by quantum noise. The quantum-noise signal masking imposes irreducible uncertainty on illegitimate reception of the cipher, and a symbol error ratio (SER) that an eavesdropper can reach approaches 1. A lower bound of the SER is promised because truly random signal masking by quantum noise cannot be reduced. The error vector magnitude of the IF signals after decryption is maintained at a low value for wireless transmission. The cipher directly and effectively protects the wireless transmission of personal data from interception.
