| Abstract: | A chaotic oscillator configuration employing a frequency‐dependent negative resistor (FDNR) as the only active element is proposed. The configuration relies on a simple two‐terminal passive device; namely a general purpose signal diode, to provide the necessary non‐linearity. The structure requires no floating elements and is independent of any circuit specific realization of the FDNR. Experimental results, PSpice simulations and numerical simulations of the derived mathematical models are included. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
