done by the S21 wire method covering the frequency range from 9 kHz to 2.5 GHz. We observed a sharp resonance peak
around 10 MHz and a broader peak around 20 MHz in both, the real and imaginary part, of the Z/n.

The RIKEN BNL Research Center (RBRC) was established in April 1997 at Brookhaven National Laboratory. It is funded
by the ‘Rikagaku Kenkyusho’ (RIKEN, The Institute of Physical and Chemical Research) of Japan. The Memorandum of
Understanding between RIKEN and BNL, initiated in 1997, has been renewed in 2002 and again in 2007. The Center is
dedicated to the study of strong interactions, including spin physics, lattice QCD, and RHIC physics through the nurturing of
a new generation of young physicists. The RBRC has both a theory and experimental component. The RBRC Theory Group
and the RBRC Experimental Group consists of a total of 25-30 researchers.

Spectral Domain RF Fingerprinting for 802.11 Wireless Devices
Munns, Sheldon A.; March 2010; 70 pp.; In English; Original contains color illustrations

The increase in availability and reduction in cost of commercial communication devices (IEEE compliant such as 802.11,
802.16, etc) has increased wireless user exposure and the need for techniques to properly identify/classify signals for increased
security measures. A communication device’s emission includes intentional modulation that enables correct device operation.
Hardware and environmental factors alter the ideal response and induce unintentional modulation effects. If these effects
(features) are sufficiently unique it becomes possible to identify a device using its fingerprint, with potential discrimination
of not only manufacturers but possibly serial numbers for a given manufacturer. Previous AFIT research has demonstrated
effectiveness at RF Fingerprinting using 802.11A signals with 1) spectral correlation on Power Spectral Density (PSD)
Fingerprints, 2) Multiple Discriminant Analysis/Maximum Likelihood (MDA/ML) classification with fingerprints obtained
from Time Domain (TD) and Wavelet Domain (WD) statistical features. As used here, Spectral Domain (SD) fingerprinting
uses the Fourier Transform to calculate PSD features for device discrimination. Results here show some improvement over
the WD approach (gain approximately equal 3 dB) and significant improvement over the TD approach (gain approximately
equal 8 dB gain).
