Chaotic Pulse Generation Induced by a Specific Class of Autonomous Oscillator

The nonlinear dynamics of an autonomous chaotic oscillator, using two different stages operational amplifier coupled by mean of diode employed as the nonlinear device, recently introduced by Giannakopoulos and Deliyannis is considered with some particular modifications. These modifications are necessary for generating new type of oscillations, the regular and chaotic pulse oscillations according to the nature of operational amplifiers. Based on the nonlineardiode equation, the transfer voltage function of operational amplifiers in open loop configuration, and an appropriate selection of the state variables, a mathematical model is derived for a better description of the dynamics of the system. The complexness of oscillations is characterized using the bifurcation diagrams and the phase portraits. Some PSPICE simulations of the nonlinear dynamics of the oscillator are presented in order to confirm the ability of the oscillator to generate both the regular and chaotic pulse oscillations, according to the appropriate choice of its components.
