Abstract

A system for synchronizing chaotic transmitters and receivers that is less sensitive to channel effects than other known chaotic communication methods. The system employs duplicate transmitter and receiving modules and in addition to the chaotic output a synchronizing signal which occupies a reduced bandwidth. The small bandwidth affords the system a greater resistance to the affects of frequency dependent channel distortion and noise. The broad band chaotic signal is transmitted and appears to be noise to an unauthorized listener. The receiving unit employs band pass filtering, and when the signal is received the receiver filters the chaotic signal through band pass filters which eliminate channel noise and make gain control easier to implement.
