Table 1 Measured BER performance when employing mixed chaotic patterns and only focusing patterns, where the transmitter sends bitstreams containing \(3\times {10}^{3}\) samples and the receivers are located at azimuthal deviations of 0°, ±20° and ±40°, respectively, relative to the legitimate user
