Electrical Engineering Radio Frequency Fingerprinting RFF SDR software defined radio Radio Frequency Fingerprinting (RFF) research typically uses expensive, laboratory gradereceivers which have high dynamic range, very stable oscillators, large instantaneousbandwidth, multi-rate sampling, etc. In this study, the RFF effectiveness of lower grade receivers is considered. Using software-defined radios (SDRs) of different cost and performance,a linear regression model is developed to predict RFF performance. Unlike two previous studies of SDR effectiveness that used commercial and lab-grade SDRs, the experiment here focused on hobbyist and commercial-grade SDRs (RTL-SDR, B200-mini, N210). A regression model is proposed for a generic SDR.Using a full-factorial experiment matrix, the gain, sample rate, and signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) were selected as the common control factors. The transmit sources were threecommercially-available, general purpose, wireless transmitters of the same model. An SDRperformance index (SPI) was developed from the percent correct classification using theRandom Forest classifier for each SDR and for a generic SDR. The RFF results show thatthe lower-cost SDRs record the data with enough fidelity to achieve over 90% classificationaccuracy. 2020-12-17 English text Wright State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=wright1608139109925131 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=wright1608139109925131 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
