Abstract

We give the first experimental demonstration of simultaneous bidirectional communication through chaotic carriers thanks to the phenomenon of isochronal synchronization. Two Mackey-Glass electronic circuits with chaotic behaviour exchange their signals through a coupling line with delay. When the internal feedback of the circuits and the coupling are accurately matched, isochronal synchronization arises. Under this dynamical regime, we introduce a binary message at both outputs and recover it at the opposite circuit. Finally, we discuss the security of this kind of communication system by analyzing the message recovered by a potential eavesdropper.
