Synchronization and the Chua Circuit

This research focuses on understanding the behavior of the Chua circuit. This electronic circuit is a simple design consisting of one inductor, one resistor, two capacitors, and a Chua diode. The Chua diode is made of two negative impedance converters wired in parallel and functions as the source of nonlinearity and negative resistance in the circuit. A gyrator is used instead of an inductor. The gyrator circuit and Chua’s diode are analyzed independently using 5spice simulation software. Also, Chua’s circuit has been shown to be the simplest electronic circuit which can exhibit chaos. An exploration of the dynamics of Chua’s circuit is conducted. Chaotic synchronization in this circuit is then considered. Further research on the topic aims to explore data encryption using synchronized Chua’s circuits.
