Comparative research of the ways to transfer microwave impatt oscillator to chaotic mode
The ways to transfer a deterministic self-oscillating microwave system to the chaotic mode are discussed. Comparative research of chaotization methods is performed by affecting of an external harmonic signal on the dynamical system, and by introducing the delayed feedback. A well-known microwave IMPATT oscillator with a 1A704B diode is selected as an experimental prototype. The most important for practical applications characteristics of a generated signal:- power spectral density and autocorrelation function of a chaotic signal are selected as criteria for comparison.
