Theoretical and Experimental Investigations of a Jerk Circuit with Two Parallel Diodes

Abstract

A Jerk circuit with two parallel diodes is proposed and analyzed in this paper. The system describing the proposed jerk circuit has two or no equilibrium points depending on the system parameters. The existence of Hopf bifurcation is established during the stability analysis of the equilibrium points. The proposed jerk circuit exhibits one scroll chaotic attractor and periodic attractors. An experimental study is presented to support theoretical investigations. The experimental results is shown consistency with numerical simulation results.
