Demodulation of chaotic signals using convolutional neural network
This study addresses the challenge of efficiently demodulating chaotic bifurcation parameter shift keying signals under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions. To this end, the authors propose an end-to-end demodulation method based on convolutional neural networks that directly recovers binary information from chaotic time series generated by the logistic map, without relying on conventional synchronization mechanisms. This work represents the first application of deep learning to the demodulation of such chaotic signals and demonstrates a notable ability to recognize chaotic patterns not encountered during training. Evaluated in additive white Gaussian noise, the method achieves a bit error rate of 0.0819 even at an SNR as low as −13 dB (corresponding to a normalized SNR of +20 dB) with a 1.34% deviation in the bifurcation parameter, thereby confirming its robustness and generalization capability.
