Experiments demonstrate an improved approach to ranging and detection by exploiting a solvable chaotic oscillator. This nonlinear oscillator includes an ordinary differential equation and a discrete switching state. The oscillator admits an exact analytic solution as the linear convolution of a symbolic dynamics and a basis function, which enables coherent reception using a simple analog matched filter. An acoustic ranging system is demonstrated that uses just simple analog and digital electronic circuit components.
