We study scattering of a periodic wave in a string on two lumped oscillators attached to it. The equations can be represented as a driven (by the incident wave) dissipative (due to radiation losses) system of delay differential equations of neutral type. Nonlinearity of oscillators makes the scattering non-reciprocal: the same wave is transmitted differently in two directions. Periodic regimes of scattering are analyzed approximately, using amplitude equation approach. We show that this setup can act as a nonreciprocal modulator via Hopf bifurcations of the steady solutions. Numerical simulations of the full system reveal nontrivial regimes of quasiperiodic and chaotic scattering. Moreover, a regime of a "chaotic diode", where transmission is periodic in one direction and chaotic in the opposite one, is reported.PACS numbers: 05.60.-k 05.70.Ln 44.10.+iOne of the mostly general results of the linear wave theory is the reciprocity theorem, established in works of Rayleigh, Helmholtz and Lorentz. For the one-dimensional wave scattering it means the symmetry of the scattering matrix, so that transmission in both direction is the same. While in linear systems violations of reciprocity require violations of time-reversal symmetry, in nonlinear wave propagation reciprocity does not hold. In particular, scattering of linear waves on nonlinear objects may operate as a "wave diode", with different transmission properties in both directions. Here we consider a simple model of scattering of linear waves on two lumped nonlinear oscillators. If one neglects dispersion and dissipation in the medium and in the oscillators, the equations can be reduced to a system of delay-differential equations. We demonstrate in this paper different regimes of reciprocity violations. In the simplest case transmissions in both directions are different, while the waves remain periodic. We observe also more complex regimes, where reflected and transmitted waves are chaotic and different. Probably, mostly nontrivial regime reported is that of "chaotic diode": a periodic wave sent to the scatterer in one direction remains periodic, while when the same wave is sent in another direction, transmitted and reflected waves are chaotic.
