For applied mathematicians and information engineers specializing in electronics or telecommunications, and for readers from academia interested in the application of chaos theory in telecommunications, and those from industry interested in theoretical and practical aspects, specialists from around the world consider applications of chaotic electronics in telecommunications at the code, signal, and circuit levels. They discuss chaotic phenomena in cryptography, spread spectrum communication, electromagnetic interference reduction, and other areas, following formal expositions of theoretical and engineering tools with discussions of the algorithms and circuits needed to apply the theory to real-world communications stems.

At the code level, discrete-time chaotic systems can be used to generate spreading codes for DS-SS systems. At the signal level, continuous-time chaotic systems can be used to generate wideband carriers for digital modulation schemes.
The potential of chaos engineering is now recognized worldwide, with research groups actively pursuing the exploitation of chaotic phenomena in cryptography, spread spectrum communications, electromagnetic interference reduction, and many other applications. Although some noteworthy results have already been achieved, until now, the field has lacked both a systematic treatment of these developments and a careful, quantitative comparison of chaos-based and conventional techniques.
Chaotic Electronics in Telecommunications fills both of those needs. It addresses the use of chaos in digital communications applications, from the coding level to circuit design. Each chapter offers a formal exposition of the theoretical and engineering tools needed to apply chaos, followed by discussion of the algorithms and circuits needed to apply the theory to real-world communications systems.
