The electromagnetic environment represents a consistently open RF attack surface. Spatial fingerprinting is proposed as a fusion of spatial intelligence, onboard electromagnetic modelling and machine learning to allow nodes within a network to identify and localise transmitters in their locality . This capability forms the basis of reciprocal trust networks between nodes in a node work, enabling self securing behaviour, and the identification and localisation of unauthorised transmitters attempting to penetrate the network. This process is demonstrated using modelled and measured data of LoRa network packets with an Anechoic Chamber, allowing for complete modelling of the scattering environment within the spatial intelligence node, and localisation of the transmitters.

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data has become a stable of modern life, whether delivered through a smartphone, vehicle, or as part of an industrial dataset. The expectation of reliable position and time information, irrespective of the environment, becomes challenging in tunnels and canyons with significant multipath, whether natural or urban. An initial look at an open dataset of LIDAR, Computer Vision, and GNSS data is presented, combined with a channel model produced from this dataset, comparing the expected and measured line of sight and multipath contributions from GPS sources while moving around Bristol, from unobstructed surroundings to deep natural and urban canyons.

As mobile communications expands to higher frequency domains, the development of accurate, cost effective methods of antenna array design and over the air (OTA) validation is required to ensure that user equipment is capable of meeting the system requirements of beamformed directivity and pointing accuracy. In the course of developing these methods, GPU enhanced modelling allows for accurate simulation of the scenarios under test and exploration of different system configurations

As GPU capabilities allow for more detailed electromagnetics and physical models to be explored on smaller platforms, there is an opportunity for overlap between ways of measuring the 3D space, and the measurement architecture itself. The use of different sensing modes for Digital Twins allows for the possibility of radio frequency measurements with accompanying computer vision or lidar measurements, in order to allow the researcher to account for the signature of the built environment, office space, or anechoic chamber within the measurement. Initial work will be present, and the concept explored for future work.

A tutorial on antenna array design for complex platforms at Radar 2022 in Edinburgh. As the demand for integrated radar systems increases, there is a commensurate need for consistent model based approaches to the design and integration of antennas and antenna arrays in the overall platform and system models. On mobile platforms, the interior volume and surface footprint available to sensors is a critical resource, while for fixed structures, the influence of the local environment must be considered if a proposed radar system is to meet the desired system performance requirements.
