An Experiment on the Generation of Microwave Chaotic Radio Pulses with Reproducible Waveform

Abstract

A method for generating chaotic radio pulses using an analog generator of chaotic oscillations is proposed. The method makes it possible to reproduce the pulse wave-form both by the same generator instance and by different instances of structurally identical generators. The pulse waveforms are controlled by the supply voltage of the generator. To prove the concept an experimental test-bed consisting of four identical generators of 100–500 MHz band has been developed. The proposed method can be applied both for coherent reception of chaotic UWB oscillations in the microwave band and for beamforming.
