A solid-state microwave-range self-oscillating chaotic system with a simplified structure

A solid-state self-oscillating system that provides generation of ultra-wideband chaotic signals in the microwave range has been proposed, implemented, and studied. The system has a simple structure comprising an active element (bipolar transistor) and a single reactive element (inductance). An experimental study of bifurcation phenomena and typical oscillation modes in the system has been carried out. The energy efficiency of the system and the possibility of its implementation in the form of a chip structure are analyzed.
