A MODULE-BASED AND UNIFIED APPROACH TO CHAOTIC CIRCUIT DESIGN AND ITS APPLICATIONS

This paper proposes a module-based and unified approach to chaotic circuit design, where the description is based on the state equations without physical dimensions for simplicity of a general discussion. The main design process consists of transformation of state variables, transformation from differential to integral operations, and transformation of the time-scale. The designed circuit consists of anti-adder module integrator module, and inverter module. A novel 3-scroll Chua's circuit and a generalized Lorenz-like circuit are designed and implemented for verifying the effectiveness of this systematic circuit design methodology. Experimental observations are provided for confirmation. Comparing with the traditional circuit design methods, this new design approach has the following typical characteristics: (i) module-based and unified design; (ii) independent adjustment of system parameters; (iii) adjustment of distribution regions for the frequency spectra of chaotic signals; (iv) prominent observability.
