Abstract:
The sign correlation of quasiperiodic oscillations with close incommensurable frequencies forms a dynamic chaos, which interferes like noise with a single interference peak and is controlled by the delay of its constituent oscillations. This property of oscillations with incommensurable frequencies can be employed in multichannel information transfer systems to form radar reception patterns and obtain uninterrupted coherent key streams in symmetric cryptographic systems. The review of known results on the generation and properties of quasiperiodic oscillations is complemented by a description of new experiments.
