Chaotic oscillators derived from sinusoidal oscillators based on the current feedback op amp
A collection of novel chaotic oscillators displaying behavior similar to that of the chaotic Colpitts oscillator and requiring the same number and type of energy storage elements is proposed. The oscillators use as an active element the current feedback op amp (CFOA) mostly employed as a current negative impedance converter (INIC). Nonlinearity is introduced through a two-terminal voltage-controlled nonlinear device with an antisymmetric driving-point characteristic. The chaos generators are designed based on sinusoidal oscillators that have been modified for chaos in a semi-systematic manner. By using CFOAs, several attractive features are attained, in particular suitability for high frequency operation. Systems of third- and fourth-order ordinary differential equations describing the chaotic behaviors are derived. Experimental results, PSpice circuit simulations and numerical simulations of the derived mathematical models are included.
