Experimental demonstration of chaos from Colpitts oscillator in VHF and UHF ranges

Abstract

Experimental results demonstrating chaotic performance of the Colpitts oscillator in the very high frequency (30–300 MHz) and the ultra-high frequency (300–1000 MHz) ranges are reported. Period-doubling route to chaos is revealed, confirming the dynamical nature of the chaotic oscillations. Broadband continuous power spectra are presented.
