Abstract
A complete nonlinear circuit has been developed for IMPATT diode oscillators. The circuit has been used to design microwave oscillators and to simulate their performance using a nonlinear CAD procedure. It is shown that, under certain load conditions, period doubling occurs, leading ultimately to chaotic behavior. The behavior has also been verified experimentally, and results suggest that IMPATT noise oscillators may be in fact chaotic oscillators.Keywords
