Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

This article presents an innovative chaotic communication scheme that integrates the multiuser access technique known as Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA) with the chaos-based selective strategy Chaos-Based Selective Symbol (CSS) and the unconventional modulation Chaos Parameter Shift Keying (CPSK). The system is designed to operate in the 2.45 GHz band and provides a robust and efficient alternative to conventional schemes such as Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM). The proposed CPSK modulation enables the encoding of information for multiple users by regulating the 36 parameters of a Reconfigurable Chaotic Oscillator (RCO), theoretically allowing the simultaneous transmission of up to 224 independent users over the same channel. The CSS technique encodes each user’s information using a unique chaotic segment configuration generated by the RCO; this serves as a reference for binary symbol encoding. W-CDMA further supports the concurrent transmission of data from multiple users through orthogonal sequences, minimizing inter-user interference. The system was digitally implemented on the Artix-7 AC701 FPGA (XC7A200TFBG676-2) to evaluate logic-resource requirements, while RF validation was carried out using a ZedBoard FPGA equipped with an AD9361 transceiver. Experimental results demonstrate optimal performance in the 2.45 GHz band, confirming the effectiveness of the chaos-based W-CDMA approach as a multiuser access technique for high-spectral-density environments and its potential for use in 5G applications.
