A secure transmission application of the State Controlled Cellular Neural Network (SC–CNN)-based circuit is presented. Since the SC–CNN-based circuit has feedback connections between the cells, it is potentially very suitable for realizing a chaotic masking system with feedback algorithm. So, we have constructed a chaotic masking system with feedback using the SC–CNN-based circuit. PSpice simulation experiments verify that the proposed SC–CNN-based secure communication system exhibits a good performance for a wide range of amplitude and spectral characteristics of the information signal.
