Generation of broad-band chaos using blocking oscillator

In this paper, we discuss fundamentals for the design of a source of chaoti c signals based on a blocking oscillator circuit. We study a modification o f a well-known circuit of blocking oscillator which leads to the onset of c haotic oscillations. The output signal of such chaotic oscillator is a seri es of short term pulses characterized by chaotic fluctuations of time inter vals between pulses. Such chaotic pulse signals posses a broad-band continu ous power spectrum and short correlation length, We discuss the results of theoretical and experimental studies of nonlinear dynamics of the chaotic b locking oscillator.
