Application of ultrafast Schottky diodes to high megahertz chaotic oscillators

Abstract

The considered chaotic oscillator consists of an amplifier, 2nd order LC resonator, Schottky diode and an extra capacitor in parallel to the diode. The diode plays the role of a nonlinear device. Chaotic oscillations are demonstrated numerically and experimentally at low as well as at high megahertz frequencies, up to 250 MHz.
