1. An analog signal scrambler, comprising:
a receiver for receiving an analog signal and converting the analog signal into an intermediate frequency signal;
a generator for generating a pseudo-random gaussian frequency distribution signal; and
a frequency converter for multiplying the intermediate frequency signal and the pseudo-random gaussian frequency distribution signal, thereby scrambling the analog signal,
wherein said generator comprises:
a pseudo-random noise generator for generating a pseudo-random noise signal based on a password,
a filter for filtering the pseudo-random noise signal, and
a converter for converting the filtered pseudo-random noise signal into the pseudo-random gaussian frequency distribution signal.
