“…As a result, it is not easy for an intruder to detect the symbol period by using energy detection methods [13,14]. In fact, the idea of chaos-based variation of the symbol period in spread-spectrum communication systems has also been presented in [15] and [16]. However, the spreading sequences investigated in these studies are binary sequences, i.e., PN and NRZ-chaos sequences, which have only two levels, "+1" or "-1".…”
