A chaotic pulse sequence generator based on the tent map

A novel chaotic pulse sequence generator is presented, which includes a tent map function subcircuit and an iterative operation subcircuit. Fewer components are utilized to implement the tent map function subcircuit. Based upon boundedness of the tent map series, the iterative operation is automatically implemented through reasonable design without clock control. The method we adopt can contribute to realize the tent map as well as yield chaotic pulse train, which is controllable in terms of pulse position and pulse time interval. The results from both the test circuit and numerical simulation verify the validity of our design.
