Investigation of a suspected chaotic behavior in a three phase oscillator model by employing analog realization

A three-phase oscillator model was shown to exhibit chaotic behavior when feedback switching terms were added to the original oscillator signal. This behavior was demonstrated previously by solving the system equations on a digital computer. In the present work, an investigation of the suspected chaotic behavior of the system is performed by using an analog instrument built in accordance with the system equations. The results of the experimental work employing the analog model also suggest (like the results of the numerical simulations) that the dynamics of the model is most probably chaotic in certain regions of parameters
