Abstract
A transmitter identification system to determine if cellular phones in a cellular phone system are authorized as distinguished from cloned phones, operated by fraudulent users, that are unauthorized. Components used in the manufacture of cellular phones vary slightly from one phone to anther so that, when the phones are used, the transmitter signals from each phone have different external signal traits. For each cellular phone call, the transmitter signal is received and characterized using a received set of features resulting from the external signal traits. The received set of features is compared with previously stored sets of Features in a database to determine if the call is authorized or unauthorized and, if unauthorized, the call is stopped and access to the fraudulent user is denied.
