Performance of differential chaos-shift-keying digital communication systems over a multipath fading channel with delay spread

The performance of the noncoherent differential chaos-shift-keying (DCSK) communication system over a multipath fading channel with delay spread is evaluated. Analytical expressions of the bit error rates are derived under the assumption of an independent Rayleigh fading two-ray channel model. Analytical and simulated results are presented and compared. The multipath performance of the DCSK system is also compared with that of the coherent CSK system as well as conventional generic waveform communication schemes.Department of Electronic and Information EngineeringAuthor name used in this publication: Chi K.
