| Summary: | This paper contributes to the problem of chaos and hyperchaos localization in the fundamental structure of analog building blocks dedicated to single-tone harmonic signal generation. This time, the known Reinartz sinusoidal oscillator is addressed, considering its conventional topology, both via numerical analysis and experiments using a flow-equivalent lumped electronic circuit. It is shown that physically reasonable values of circuit parameters can result in robust dynamical behavior characterized by a pair of positive Lyapunov exponents. Mandatory numerical results prove that discovered strange attractors exhibit all necessary fingerprints of structurally stable chaos. The new “chaotic” parameters are closely related to the standard operation of the investigated analog functional block. A few interestingly shaped, strange attractors have been captured as oscilloscope screenshots. |
