A chaotic modulation scheme based on algebraic observability and sliding mode differentiators

A chaotic communication technique for the transmission of secure information signals is presented. The proposed method allows the reconstruction of the system input (i.e., the information signal) from a scalar observable (i.e., the transmitted signal) and its derivatives. The approach is based on the concept of algebraic observability. A systematic procedure for the chaotic demodulation of the class of algebraic chaotic systems is described and discussed. The proposed procedure also allows one to directly identify a suitable ‘‘response’’ system and the ‘‘drive signal’’. Moreover, it is shown that sliding differentiators can be used to reconstruct the time derivatives of the observable, and thus the information signal is recovered at the receiving end through some simple signal-processing operations such as multiplication, addition and subtraction. This allows the estimation of the system state and of the input signal (i.e., the information recovery) in a finite time. � 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
