Abstract
A candidate arbitrary-phase spread spectrum modulation technique that offers similar performance to spread continuous phase modulation (CPM) waveforms and additional capabilities for programming a chosen frequency domain spectra into the resulting spread spectrum signal. The proposed chaotic-FSK waveform is derived from high-order sequence-based spread spectrum signals, with multi-bit resolution chaos-based sequences defining incremental phase words, enabling real-time efficient generation of practically non-repeating waveforms. A result of the C-FSK formulation is a parameterized hybrid modulation capable of acting like a traditional sequence-based spread spectrum signal or a traditional frequency shift keying signal depending on chosen parameters. As such, adaptation in this modulation may be easily implemented as a time-varying evolution, increasing the security of the waveform while retaining many efficiently implementable receiver design characteristics of traditional PSK modulations.
