Abstract

An eavesdropper on computer CRT (cathode ray tube) monitors can be used to intercept video information. Its anti-noise performance is analyzed in this paper. Baseband transmission models of digital signals are established according to the operating principle of the eavesdropper. The relationship between the eavesdropper´s bit error rate and some parameters, such as intercept distance, superposition times and noise power, is discussed under the circumstances of ISI and ISI-freedom. Good agreement is obtained between experimental results and theoretical analysis.
