Simple intra-signal-interference removing detector for HE-DCSK

In this paper, a novel simple detector is designed to remove the intra-signal interference in high efficiency differential chaos shift keying (HE-DCSK) modulation scheme. With the help of data bit estimated before correlation detection, this new detector could remove the modulated chaotic segment that would form intra-signal interference component in the correlator output from every received information-bearing signal in HE-DCSK, leading to greatly and effectively improved system bit error rate (BER) performance. The effectiveness of this proposed detector is studied analytically based on the numerical integration method and evaluated by computer simulation in additive-white-Gaussian- noise (AWGN) channel. Simulation results reveal that the proposed detector can dramatically improve the overall BER performance of HE-DCSK even at relatively low signal noise ratio (SNR) levels.
