Smooth Nonlinearity Generation with lnCosh and Realization of Chaotic Oscillator
Abstract
In this work, a new cubic-like smooth nonlinearity is generated by modifying Chua’s piecewise-linear segmental nonlinear function using logarithmic cos-hyperbolic function implementation. A logarithmic cos-hyperbolic function possessing smooth symmetric nonlinear characteristics is implemented through CMOS-based circuit design using the current mode approach. The nonlinear design is then incorporated in a new third-order chaotic oscillator configuration to produce chaotic oscillations. This chaotic circuit is tuned to develop different attractors through the bifurcation parameter. Moreover, the dynamics of chaos such as antimonotonicity and coexistence of attractors are also depicted in circuit simulation by tuning various controlling parameters. Additionally, some numerical analyses are performed on this dynamic system to justify the existence of chaoticity and attractors’ development. This design has been optimized for low-voltage and moderately high dominant frequency of oscillations. Simulations are done using 180-nm CMOS technology in Cadence Virtuoso. Experimental results are presented to verify the workability of the proposed chaotic system.
