Chaos-Based Digital Communication Systems: Operating Principles, Analysis Methods, and Performance Evaluation

In the 1970's and 1980's, we saw phenomenal advancement in nonlinear sci­ ence, which had led to many important discoveries that greatly improve our understanding of the physical world. Among them, the discovery of chaos in deterministic systems is unarguably one of the most revolutionary scientific findings. We are now able to explain the apparent complexity and subtle or­ der exhibited by many physical systems under the unified framework of chaos theory. The past decade has seen heightene...
