RESUMO

In this work, we investigate the use of estimation techniques to digital modulation systems that use chaotic signals. Initially, basic aspects of nonlinear systems and digital modulation theory are reviewed followed by currently proposed techniques of chaotic digital modulation with coherent, noncoherent and differential correlation receivers: CSK (Chaos Shift Keying), DCSK (Differential Chaos Shift Keying) and some of its variants in special FM-DCSK (Frequency Modulated DCSK). These systems are described using a discrete-time lowpass equivalent model to facilitate comparison with conventional digital modulation systems. We derive Cramér-Rao lower bounds for the estimation of the initial condition of chaotic orbits as a function of the statistical properties of the chaos generating map and describe two chaotic orbits estimators: the MLE (Maximum Likelihood Estimator) that applies only to maps with uniform invariant density and the Viterbi algorithm for which a generalization is presented that allows its application to a broader class of maps. Because of the larger estimation gains attained in the signal-to-noise ratio range of interest, the latter is used in proposed digital modulation systems that use orbit estimation to detect the transmitted symbol: ML-CSK (Maximum Likelihood CSK) modified to allow maps with nonuniform invariant density using one map or two maps and ML-DCSK (Maximum Likelihood DCSK). The performance of these systems in terms of symbol error rate is accessed via simulation under additive white gaussian noise perturbations.
