EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF CFOA-BASED INDUCTORLESS CHUA'S CIRCUIT

Abstract

The current feedback op amps (CFOAs), with some significant advantages over the conventional op amps, have been used instead of voltage op amps (VOAs) in new implementations of Chua's circuit. In our previous study, after providing a comparative investigation of CFOA-based realizations of Chua's circuit in the literature, we have also presented an alternative inductorless CFOA-based realization of Chua's circuit, and the circuit's chaotic behavior by Pspice simulations. In this paper, we investigate CFOA-based Chua's circuit by constructing an experimental setup, and testing the performance of the proposed implementation at different frequencies. Its excellent high frequency performance was experimentally verified.
