CIRCUITS APPLIED TO PRACTICAL MICROWAVE OSCILLATORS

A general method for the analysis of pre· chaotic and chaotic behaviours in lumped-distributed circuits has been developed. Examples of practical microwave oscillato rs, namely GUNN and IMPATI oscillators were designed. The simulation and meBS urem ent results s(1owed that these oscilla tors possess regions of periodic, quasi-periodic, and chaotic spectra. The method could be used by circuit designers to design chaos free oscillators.
