Abstract

In wireless communications, chaotic communications have been a field of interest due to its low complexity in hardware implementation and low power consumption in chaotic signal generation. Among the modulation schemes using the chaotic signal, Differential Chaos Shift Keying (DCSK) is a robust noncoherent technique. Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system is a technology that uses multiple transmit and/or multiple receive antennas in order to improve the system performance in wireless systems. In our paper, we have proposed a new scheme of MIMO-DCSK which utilizes the benefits of MIMO system into the chaotic communication system by transmitting and receiving DCSK modulated signals through multiple antennas. Our analysis and simulation results show how the chaotic communications in the new MIMO-DCSK benefits over the single input single output (SISO) system and the BER performance of DCSK in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels using Alamouti space-time code and the maximum likelihood decoding is analyzed.
