In this paper, we propose a new secure millimeter-wave wireless communication architecture called dynamic rotated angular beamforming (DRAB), to address the physical layer security (PLS) challenge for aligned transmitter, eavesdropper and target receiver in the mainlobe path, where the conventional angular beamforming (CAB) fails to provide satisfactory PLS performance. The proposed DRAB consists of a conventional phased-array and a set of frequency offset modulator. A frequency offset increment (FOI) set is intentionally introduced to control the dynamic rotation of DRAB’s mainlobe around the target user in the angle-range space. Thus, the average sidelobe of DRAB outside the target region is suppressed dramatically while the mainlobe inside the target region is a constant. We consider two cases of interests, i.e., with/without the location information of eavesdropping. For the known eavesdropping case, DRAB steer the zero gain sidelobes towards eavesdropper. The secrecy rate maximization problem is simplified to a form only depending on the FOI. As for the unknown eavesdropping case, we mainly depends on the beam rotating dynamically and randomly to hide the mainlobe path. Moreover, we propose inverted antenna subset technique to further randomize the sidelobes against sensitive eavesdropping. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposed DRAB can provide superior PLS performance over the existing CAB.
