Experimental demonstration of 1.5 GHz chaos generation using an improved Colpitts oscillator

Experimental study of the ultrahigh-frequency chaotic dynamics generated in an improved Colpitts oscillator is performed. Reliable and reproducible chaos can be generated at the fundamental frequency up to 1.5 GHz using the microwave BFG520 type transistors with the threshold frequency of 9 GHz. By the tuning of the supply voltages, we observe complex nonlinear dynamics like period-one oscillation, period-two oscillation, multiple-period oscillation, and chaotic oscillation. Typical time series, autocorrelation, and broadband continuous power spectrum are presented. Furthermore, compared with the corresponding classical Colpitts oscillator, the main advantage of the improved circuit is in the fact that by operating in a chaotic mode it exhibits higher fundamental frequencies and a lower peak side-lobe level.
