A novel ZigBee device identification method using physical radio frequency (RF) features of the wireless device is proposed in this paper. A differential constellation trace figure (DCTF) processing is proposed for RF fingerprint features extraction and a DCTF based clustering algorithms is employed for wireless device identification. Theoretical analysis shows that the proposed DCTF based identification method can effectively extract frequency difference and I/Q channel offset features of each ZigBee devices. Moreover, experimental verifications using USRP software defined radio and 16 CC2530 ZigBee modules are carried out. Experimental results show that the proposed method has excellent performance for rogue device identification and verified device classification.
