Abstract

In this paper, an experimental study of practical realization for the transmission of information using chaotic oscillators is presented. We use a ring of three coupled oscillators (emitter–relay–receiver) to demonstrate some views of chaotic masking. Furthermore, several secure communication lines are discussed in this paper. We take into account the parameters mismatch, and the experimental results are in close accordance with the theoretical ones.
