A new high amplitude oscillation is observed and attributed to the emergence of a large diode junction capacitance. Increasing the driving signal amplitude, the circuit is led to a non-periodic mode of operation, producing trajectories of increasing chaotic content in a four-dimensional phase space. At specific amplitudes a two-dimensional tori was monitored, where trajectories are periodic, like in a two oscillator system with commensurate frequencies. Poincar´e crosssections, FFT spectra and correlation dimension calculations, suggest the quasi-periodicity route to chaos.13enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Διεθνέςhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Άρθρο σε επιστημονικό συνέδριοNon-linear systemsChaosElectronic circuits
