Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Analog, digital, and mixed-mode networks can be modeled using suitable mathematical tools, such as set of ordinary and partial differential equations, algebraic expressions, and logic functions. Mathematical models are usually constructed to be as simple as possible, with respect to intended function of investigated electronic system. However, in such a case, many important features of modeled electronic systems can be neglected, and we can experience significant differences between measured and simulated results.

During the last few decades of intensive research, many building blocks dedicated to signal generation and processing have exhibit a complex behavior whose character is different from that of conventional, i.e., expected function. New numerical methods along with high-performance computers allow us to analyze mathematical models with increased complexity, considering many degrees of freedom, having elements working in different time scales or mathematical models with strongly nonlinear components, etc.

This Special Issue welcomes all contributions focused on the complex dynamical behavior of electronic circuits, introducing novel nonlinear systems having some unique properties, including the design of chaotic or hyperchaotic systems and its application in communication techniques. It also includes papers describing applications of new numerical algorithms on various electronic networks, research and review works on the mathematical methods developed for specific engineering problems, or the successful use of known mathematical approaches to answer important questions from the area of general electronics.

One of the earliest reports on synchronization of inert systems dates back to the time of the Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens, who discovered that a pair of pendulum clocks coupled through a wooden bar oscillate in harmony. A remarkable feature in Huygens’ experiment is that different synchronous behaviors may be observed by just changing a parameter in the coupling. Motivated by this, in this paper, we propose a novel synchronization scheme for chaotic oscillators, in which the design of the coupling is inspired in Huygens’ experiment. It is demonstrated that the coupled oscillators may exhibit not only complete synchronization, but also mixed synchronization—some states synchronize in anti-phase whereas other states synchronize in-phase—depending on a single parameter of the coupling. Additionally, the stability of the synchronous solution is investigated by using the master stability function approach and the largest transverse Lyapunov exponent. The Lorenz system is considered as particular application example, and the performance of the proposed synchronization scheme is illustrated with computer simulations and validated by means of experiments using electronic circuits.

This paper compares two electronically controllable solutions of triangular and square wave generators benefiting from a single IC package including all necessary active elements (modular cells fabricated in I3T 0.35 µm ON Semiconductor process operating with ±1.65 V supply voltage). Internal cells are used for construction of building blocks of the generator (integrator and Schmitt trigger/comparator). Proposed solutions have adjustable parameters dependent on the values of DC control voltages and currents. Attention is given to the mathematical expressions for the advantageous tunability of these generators. Theoretical mathematical functions comparing the standard linear formula with special expression for the frequency adjustment are evaluated and compared with experimentally obtained results. Mathematical functions prove that the proposed topologies improve efficiency of tunability and reduce overall complexity of both generators. Features of proposed solutions were verified experimentally. Both single-parameter tunable designs target on the operation in bands from tens to hundreds of kHz (from 13 kHz up to 251 kHz for the driving voltage between 0.05 V and 1.0 V for the first solution; from 12 kHz up to 847 kHz for the driving current between 5 µA and 140 µA for the second solution). A comparison with similar solutions indicates beneficial performance of the proposed solutions in tunability ratio vs. driving parameter ratio and also because simplicity of circuitry is low. The qualitative evaluation and comparison of parameters of both circuits is given and confirms theoretical expectations. Full article
