Abstract
This paper presents an implementation of a digital chaotic signal generator based on compound one-dimensional sinusoidal maps. The proposed chaotic map not only offers high chaoticity measured from a positive lyapunov exponent but also provides diverse bifurcation structures with robust chaos over most regions of parameter spaces. Implementation on FPGA realizes small number of components and offers a highly random chaotic sequence with no autocorrelation. The proposed chaotic signal generator offers a potential alternative in random test pattern generation or in secured data communication applications.
