Abstract :
This paper considers a chaotic microwave transmitter consisting of a quasi-optical antenna array. When the coupling strength between array elements is too small to allow phase-locking, the antenna arrays exhibit low-dimensional chaos. These arrays show potential for use in inexpensive, high-power and high-speed wireless communication channels.
