Abstract

Proposals to use chaos for communications have been hindered by the fact that broadband chaotic signals are distorted by narrow band or frequency dependent communications channels. I show in this paper how the unstable periodic orbits from a chaotic attractor may be used to estimate the parameters of a filter that has acted on a signal from that attractor and estimate the chaotic signal, even when additive noise larger than the chaotic signal is present.
