We report the implementation of an in-band chaotic scrambler for securing wireless analog video. In this demonstration system, an analog video signal is injected into a chaotic oscillator and the output is transmitted through a standard wireless video link. At the receiver, a descrambler separates the video from the chaotic signal in real time. Experimental results show the scrambled signal effectively hides the original video image, yet the descrambler recovers ...
In this paper we examine two couplings that produce time-shifted synchronization in a pair of chaotic oscillators. The couplings do not utilize an explicit time-delay term. We characterize the observed synchronization by determining the dependence of the time shift and cross correlation between the drive and response oscillators on a tunable parameter. Our observations agree well with estimates of the time shift and cross correlation using a transfer function.
