Abstract :
A general method for the analysis of pre-chaotic and chaotic behaviours in lumped-distributed circuits has been developed. Examples of practical microwave oscillators, namely Gunn and IMPATT oscillators were designed. The simulation and measurement results showed that these oscillators possess regions of periodic, quasi-periodic, and chaotic spectra. The method could be used by circuit designers to design chaos free oscillators.<>
