Abstract

In the present work a method has been developed for the detection of chaotic responses in microwave circuits. The new technique is based on the use of commercial harmonic balance software, which constitutes a major advantage for microwave circuit designers. In order to validate the new method, the bifurcation loci of Chua´s chaotic circuit have been obtained and successfully compared with time domain simulations. The proposed method is readily applicable to IMPATT, Gunn and tunnel diode microwave oscillators.
