Abstract :
A chaotic waveform generator based on a TWT amplifier with delayed recirculated feedback driven with an external harmonic signal has been developed. In this paper, a numerical model of the oscillator is described and results of numerical and experimental investigation are presented. Such as oscillator is of great interest for novel communication and radar systems utilizing noise-like waveform signals
