Interleaving techniques for high-throughput chaotic noise generation in CMOS

Abstract

An interleaving technique is proposed to enhance the throughput of current-mode CMOS discrete time chaotic sources based on the iteration of unidimensional maps. A discussion of the reasons and the advantages offered by the approach is provided, together with analytical results about the conservation of some major statistical features. As an example, application to an FM-DCSK communication system is proposed. To conclude, a sample circuit capable of 20 Msample/s is presented.
