Realization of Chaotic Circuits Using Lambda Diode

Abstract

This paper presents the design of novel autonomous and non-autonomous inductorless chaotic circuit using lambda diode. The autonomous chaotic circuit is implemented using Chua’s circuit, where the piece-wise linear element of Chua’s circuit called Chua’s diode is replaced by lambda diode. The lambda diode used as a nonlinear resistor in Chua’s circuit comprises of BJT, FET and resistors. The non-autonomous chaotic circuit is studied by replacing the piece-wise linear element of Murali–Lakshmana–Chua (MLC) circuit by lambda diode. The reason for employing lambda diode is that it has a wide range of negative resistance characteristics, which enable the circuit to operate at higher frequency ranges. The resulting chaotic oscillator can easily be made to operate at both low and high frequencies. The chaotic behavior of the circuit is established through Multisim simulations in the time and frequency domains. Both theoretical analysis and electronic circuit experiments are presented. The circuit’s chaotic characteristics are further confirmed by means of Poincare plot and the Bifurcation diagram. The observed route to chaos is period-adding.

Chaos in Analog Electronic Circuits: Comprehensive Review, Solved Problems, Open Topics and Small Example

“…Instead of nonlinearity in the form of the product of two state variables, the chaotic oscillator is constructed by using two uncoupled two-terminal nonlinear resistors, each characterized by a two-segment PWL AV curve. The chaotic behavior of Chua's circuit with a lambda diode implemented by using a combination of bipolar transistor and FET for the required nonlinearity is described in paper [76]. Besides this famous autonomous circuit, the Murali-Lakshmanan-Chua non-autonomous circuit with the same lambda diode is also tested as the source of chaotic waveforms.…”

Characterization of second-order chaotic circuits with heterogeneous memristors

“…Before the advent of amnesic resistors, studies on chaotic circuits were mainly based on the Zeiss circuit, which could generate chaotic attractors because the Zeiss diode was a nonlinear component. Since the memristor makes the design of chaotic circuits more flexible and convenient, many chaotic memristor circuits have been designed, mainly classified into chaotic memristor circuits with inductors and chaotic memristor circuits without inductors [7]- [9]. These two types of chaotic circuits have their advantages and disadvantages, but both provide a broader space for the design of chaotic memristor circuits and bring new prospects for further research in the future [10].…”

Current-Mode Network Structures Dedicated for Simulation of Dynamical Systems with Plane Continuum of Equilibrium

“…29 Such structures have single or multiplē xed points with saddle-spiral local vector¯eld geometry and stability index lower than dynamical system dimension. From the viewpoint of chaos generation, it was long time believed that there are always two mechanisms acting in a continuous vector¯eld exhibiting chaos.…”
