We describe the design and CMOS implementation of a baseband spread-spectrum communication system using chaotic signals for spreading digital data. The communication system uses a new chaotic modulation scheme called M-DCSK (Modified Differential Chaos Shift Keying). The M-DCSK scheme and its characteristics are analyzed for single user and multi user applications. Results from a VLSI implement...

This paper is concerned with the novel use of Iterated Function Systems (IFS) as generators of Pseudo-Noise (PN) spreading waveforms for broadband communications applications. Motivation for this proposal indirectly arises from the recent interest in alternative methods of spread spectrum modulation, for example, via the use of syn-chronising chaotic carriers and localized wavelet lters. IFS re...

The emergence of second-harmonic generation (SHG) is a pivotal issue to the development of nano-optical devices and interfaces. Here, we perform a classical analysis of the SHG dynamics with the aim of determining critical values of the electric field. The signals of the SHG process are nonlinear, so it seems reasonable that chaos theory can be a suitable tool to analyze their dynamics. For thi...

Semiconductor lasers with optical feedback can produce plentiful non-linear dynamics, including periodic and chaotic oscillations, which are usually applied to microwave signals physical random number generation, respectively. Chaotic semiconductor especially successful in generating numbers compared pseudorandom generated by a computing process. We report self-chaotic microlaser based on the i...

In this paper we have proposed a novel amplitude suppression algorithm for EEG signals collected during epileptic seizure. Then we have proposed a measure of chaoticity for a chaotic signal, which is somewhat similar to measuring sensitive dependence on initial conditions by measuring Lyapunov exponent in a chaotic dynamical system. We have shown that with respect to this measure the amplitude ...

This paper proposes a chaos-based analog-to-information conversion system for the acquisition and reconstruction of sparse analog signals. The sparse signal acts as an excitation term of a continuous-time chaotic system and the compressive measurements are performed by sampling chaotic system outputs. The reconstruction is realized through the estimation of the sparse coefficients with principl...

The properties of nonlinear dynamics and chaos are shown to be fundamental to optimal communication signals subject to two practical and realistic design requirements: (i) operation in a noisy environment and (ii) simple hardware implementation. Starting with a simple electronic circuit, a linear filter receiver is presumed, and the matched optimal communication waveform that maximizes the rece...

The passage of light or of electrons through a disordered medium is modified in the presence of resonances. We describe a simple model for this problem, and present first results.

Chaotic modulation is a useful technique for spread spectrum communication. In this paper, an on-line adaptive chaotic demodulator based on a radial-basis-function (RBF) neural network is proposed and designed. The demodulator is implemented by an on-line adaptive learning algorithm, which takes advantage of the good approximation capability of the RBF network and the tracking ability of the ex...
