Experimental demonstration of chaos from Colpitts oscillator in VHF and UHF ranges

Experimental results demonstrating chaotic performance of the Colpitts oscillator in the very high frequency (30-300 MHz) and the ultra-high frequency (300-1000 MHz) ranges are reported. Period-doubling route to chaos is revealed, confirming the dynamical nature of the chaotic oscillations. Broadband continuous power spectra are presented.
