This publication shows a variety of effects (erroneous sensor data, data communication being disrupted, as well as a complete freeze of all processes) was demonstrated regarding the deliberate manipulation of sensor readings using pulse modulated signals with high field strength and that information will lead to a better understanding of the phenomena occurring at the physical layer of the sensors, so that suitable protection measures can be taken against those type of attacks.

The response of antennas with nonlinear loads is investigated. In this contribution we present a method capable to perform simulations on antennas with multiple nonlinear loads that are less time and memory consuming than traditional proceedings. Moreover, these methods also contribute to a better understanding of observed effects. This is shown using an antenna with two nonlinear loads. A deep insight on how nonlinear loads affect the reception behavior of an antenna will be provided.
