Chaotic relaxation oscillator
The autonomous chaotic relaxation oscillator which is well-known blocking oscillator with one additional capacitor is investigated. It was studied experimentally that oscillator possesses chaotic dynamics in wide parameter region. Transition to chaos is realised through intermittence. Bifurcation diagram was plotted experimentally on parameter plane. Mathematical model was obtained in the form of 1-D map for time intervals between two neighbour pulses. Numerical simulation of mathematical model shows that bifurcation structure of its parameter space is quite similar to experimental results.
