Chaotic communications: The past, the present and the future

A tiny difference can sometimes make significant changes. Such events that are occurring around us all the time are called chaos. Yet, chaos theory started only in the 1960s. In this presentation, we introduce chaotic phenomenon and its characteristics. We also discuss the benefits of using chaotic signals in transmitting messages and the development of different types of chaotic communication systems, one of which became one of the candidates for use in ultra-wideband communication systems. Finally, we provide future research directions in this area.
