Distortions of a Rectangular Radio Pulse with Chaotic Carrier in a Dispersive Resonantly Absorbing Gas Medium

Abstract

We briefly describe the possible character and peculiarities of dispersion-induced distortions of a rectangular pulse with chaotic carrier modeled using the third-order Chebyshev map of the first kind propagating in a resonantly absorbing gas medium. It is established that, as the pulse goes away from the radiator, its envelope exhibits transformation toward a noiselike shape. In a rather wide region of parameters of the dispersive medium, distortions of the envelope are not accompanied by breakage or principal changes of its autocorrelation and frequency correlation functions.
