Two complementary sinusoidal oscillator circuits based on the Twin-T n
etwork are modified for chaos using a single discrete nonlinear device
with antisymmetrical current-voltage characteristics, namely a juncti
on field effect transistor (JFET) operating in its triode region. The
two oscillators' design equations are used as a starting point for cha
os modification. Mathematical models that describe the observed behavi
our in both circuits are derived. Experimental results, PSpice circuit
simulations and numerical simulations of the mathematical models agre
e well and are included. (C) 1997 The Franklin Institute. Published by
