MULTISCROLL CHAOTIC ATTRACTORS FROM A MODIFIED COLPITTS OSCILLATOR MODEL

A simple approach for generating (2N + 1)-scroll chaotic attractor from a modified Colpitts oscillator model is proposed in this paper. The key strategy is to increase the number of index-2 equilibrium points by introducing a triangle function to directly replace the nonlinearity term of Colpitts oscillator model. The dynamical characteristics of the new multiscroll chaotic system are studied comprehensively. A circuit realization structure is introduced and the experimental results demonstrate that (2N + 1)-scroll chaotic attractors can be obtained in practical circuit.
