The proposed demodulator could avoid the problem of demodulation filters design, and shows the excellent anti-noise capability of chaotic oscillator detection. Numerical and experimental tests were taken to investigate the impact of modulation parameters T and 0 on bit error performance of the proposed method, and the performance limits were gotten. The results show that the proposed chaotic demodulator works well under a very low signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） conditions, and gets SNR gains about 20 dB to 30 dB from the impulse filter.展开更多
