The DPSK Signal Noncoherent Demodulation Receiver Based on the Duffing Oscillators Array

Abstract

Chaotic communication requires the knowledge of corresponding phase relationship between the primary phase of Duffing oscillator's internal driving force and the primary phase of the undetected signal. Currently, there is no method of noncoherent demodulation for DPSK (Differential Phase Shift Keying) signal and mobile communication signal by Duffing oscillator. To solve this problem, this study presents a noncoherent demodulation method based on the Duffing oscillators array and Duffing oscillator optimization. We first present the model of Duffing oscillator and its sensitivity to undetected signal primary phase. Then the zone partition is proposed to identify the Duffing oscillator's phase trajectory, and subsequently, the mathematical model and implementation method of the Duffing oscillators array are outlined. Thirdly, the Duffing oscillator optimization and its adaptive strobe technique are proposed, also their application to DPSK signal noncoherent demodulation are discussed. Finally, the design of new concept DPSK chaotic digital receiver based on the Duffing oscillators array is presented, together with its simulation results obtained by using SystemView simulation platform. The simulation results suggest that the new concept receiver based on the Duffing oscillator optimization of Duffing oscillators array owns better SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) threshold property than typical existing receivers (chaotic or nonchaotic) in the AWGN (additive white Gaussian noise) channel and multipath Rayleigh fading channel. In addition, the new concept receiver may detect mobile communication signal.
