Regular Pulse Trains in Chaotic pulse Bursts
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electric field pulse bursts generated by lightning flashes are considered as sources of high radio frequencies. In this study, an analysis of pulse bursts in electric field records of 30 negative cloud to ground lightning flashes recorded in the southern coastal area of Sri Lanka is presented. Sixty-four percent (64%) of pulse bursts are typical chaotic pulse trains (CPT). Twenty-four percent (24%) of pulse bursts exhibit CPT characteristic while containing regular pulses within the burst. These are termed as “semi-regular pulse bursts” in this study. The regular pulses within CPTs show characteristics similar to dart stepped leaders or stepped leaders, and in some cases, more than one regular pulse trains with different characteristics are observed within a single burst. The intra-cloud lightning activities associated with CPT such as K changes, leader processes, and isolated pulses bursts also exhibit regular pulse bursts or semi-regular pulse bursts. CPT and regular pulse trains always show similarity in occurrence, and semi-regular pulses have the characteristic of both type of pulse bursts. Hence CPT and semi-regular pulse bursts may be formed by superposition of two or more regular pulse bursts which represent dart stepped leader or stepped leader type activities. Keywords-lightning; pulse bursts; chaotic pulses; regular pulses; superimposition;

Analysis of a Quantized Chaotic System
We consider quantized chaotic dynamics for a spiking oscillator with two periodic inputs. As the first input is applied, the oscillator generates various periodic and chaotic pulse-trains governed by a pulse position map. As the second input is added, the oscillator produces pulse positions restricted on a lattice, and the pulse position map is quantized. Then the oscillator generates a set of ...
متن کاملSynchronization via Multiplex Pulse Trains
The master–slave synchronization of a complex chaotic system using multiplex pulse trains is considered. Each master outputs a chaotic pulse train of narrow pulses, the intervals of which are governed by a chaotic map. The slave system has the winner-take-all function. A simple realization of the systems is shown. We provide a theorem which guarantees the synchronization in the case that all ma...
متن کاملDigital Communication Using Chaotic-Pulse-Position Modulation
Utilization of chaotic signals for covert communications remains a very promising practical application. Multiple studies indicate that the major shortcoming of recently proposed chaos-based communication schemes is their susceptibility to noise and distortions in communication channels. In this paper, we review a new approach to communication with chaotic signals, which demonstrates good perfo...
متن کاملMaster-Slave Synchronization of Pulse-Coupled Chaotic Spiking Oscillators
Abstract This paper studies basic dynamics of a chaotic spiking oscillator and its master-slave type pulse-coupled system. The slaves can exhibit synchronous phenomena for the chaotic spike-trains of the masters not depending on the initial states. Using the mapping procedure, we analyze the synchronous phenomena. Constructing a simple test circuit, we verify typical phenomena in the laboratory.
متن کاملQuantized chaotic dynamics and communications systems
Applying a pulse-train input to a spiking chaotic oscillator, the chaotic dynamics is quantized. The quantized system can output various pulse-trains that can be used as a rich coding source. Such quantized dynamics is analyzed rigorously using the computer. As an application, a basic multiplex communication system with pulse interval modulation is also shown.
