With the broadband, noise-like, and non-periodic characteristics of chaotic signals, chaotic digital modulation schemes have received extensive attention. A new short reference orthogonal double bit rate differential chaotic shift keying (SR-ODBR-DCSK) communication scheme is proposed in the paper. The modulation technology generates two orthogonal chaotic signals by using the orthogonality of the chaotic signals acting on the Walsh function and modulates the continuous two-bit data information respectively to achieve the simultaneous transmission of two signals at the same time slot. Odd information bits and even information bits are modulated to two orthogonal signals so as to reach a double transmission rate on the basis of the original channel. In this paper, the performance of SR-ODBR-DCSK in the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel is analyzed, and a Monte Carlo simulation test is carried out. The bit error rate of this modulation method is compared with that of SR-DCSK. The results show that the SR-ODBR-DCSK system is excellent and promising.

A new multi−carrier orthogonal double bit rate differential chaotic shift keying (MC−ODBR−DCSK) communication system is presented in this paper. With two composite signals generated by an orthogonal chaotic signal generator as reference signals, 2M bits of information data are transmitted on M−channel subcarriers, improving transmission speed and energy efficiency. In addition, the receiver does not require a radio frequency (RF) delay circuit to demodulate the received data, which makes the system easier to implement. This paper analyzes Data−energy−to−Bit−energy Ratio (DBR) of the system. The bit error rate performance of the system is simulated to verify the impact of parameters such as chaotic maps, semi-spread spectrum factor, and sub-carrier number. At the same time, the bit error rate performance of the MC−ODBR−DCSK system is compared with traditional DCSK systems in Rician fading and additive Gaussian white noise (AWGN) channels.
