Abstract

Van der Pol Equation is a special case of Liénard equations. Both oscillators have significant historical importance. There are lots of different circuit topologies for Van der Pol and Liénard oscillators. Such oscillators can be made using vacuum tubes, diodes, etc. Some oscillators are made using microcontrollers, which are cheap and easy-to-use devices. They provide accurate adjustability of the frequency and magnitude of the waveforms. Arduino Nano Klon V3.0 microcontroller is a commonly used microcontroller. In this study, to the best of our knowledge, for the first time in literature, a Liénard Oscillator has been made with the Direct digital synthesis (DDS) method using the Arduino Nano Klon V3.0 microcontroller and two DACs. The experimental results of the oscillator are given. The circuit is able to produce the state variables of the oscillator, the effect of quantization can be seen on the waveforms, and it is shown that it performs well. The two variable outputs of the system let its phase portrait be examined easily. Also, using a microcontroller helps to design the oscillator in mere a few days.
