A Study on the Performance of CSK under Noisy Conditions 2 and

In this work we present an extensive study on the performance of CSK under various noisy conditions. Noise types are Gaussian, uniform, Rayleigh, and impulsive noise. Under the existence of both Gaussian and impulsive noise processes, the study handles different Gaussian to impulse power ratios, also different values for the Spreading factor (SF) and different values of Poisson parameter. It is shown that increasing the SF would give better BER performance in almost all conditions. Key-words: Chaos, chaos shift keying, spreading factor.
