DCSK performance analysis of a chaos-based communication using a newly designed chaotic system

Abstract

In this paper, a new chaotic system has been introduced and the fundamental properties of the system were investigated and presented using a bifurcation diagram, max Lyapunov exponent (LE) and phase portraits. The synchronization of the drive and response system has been done using the threshold control parameter. Later the differential chaos shift keying (DCSK) modulation scheme has been carried out for the system as it is the most efficient modulation scheme. The demodulator detects the data without the use of chaotic signal phase recovery, as it uses the non-coherent detection technique. The results were compared with other modulation schemes using the bit error rate (BER) graph. It reveals that the proposed chaos-based system could be used for secure communication. The system has been implemented using the MATLAB Simulink technique.
