This project aims to develop an analog system along with a working plan for its implementation. In the past year, research to develop digital communications using nonlinear dynamics for data transmission led to the successful development of high data rate communications which allow users to transmit larger files, such as high quality video, more quickly than a low data rate communication method.

Popular digital wideband technologies being used by today’s consumers face two competing challenges: achieving a high data transfer rate while maintaining a low power usage. Analog wideband communications have the potential to eliminate the drawbacks of power-hungry digital wideband systems. This project aims to develop an analog system along with a working plan for its implementation. In the past year, research to develop digital communications using nonlinear dynamics for data transmission led to the successful development of high data rate communications which allow users to transmit larger files, such as high quality video, more quickly than a low data rate communication method. The team continued their activities by implementing a transmitter and receiver able to make use of previously developed algorithms that enable the lower power use and cost that are key advantages of the proposed system. As well, the team successfully implemented analog wideband communications that used readily available hardware that costs less than $3 Canadian. Transmitter and receiver modules for digital communications which have fewer design complexities were also implemented.
