A variable-structure-controlled (VSQ Van der Pol oscillator is shown to produce an ideal average response of perfect harmonic nature when its motions are made to slide on a circle defined in the interior of its limit cycle. The sinusoidal responses are robust with respect to parameter perturbations and external disturbances.
