Abstract

The behavior of a novel frequency divider circuit using negative differential resistance (NDR) circuit is studied. This NDR circuit is made of resistors (R) and bipolar-junction-transistor (BJT) devices. It can show the NDR characteristic in its combined current-voltage curve by suitably arranging the resistances. We call this NDR circuit as R-BJT-NDR circuit in this paper. A chaos circuit consisted of an R-BJT-NDR device, an inductor, and a capacitor is investigated. It demonstrates the period-adding sequences which appear in its bifurcation diagram to perform the frequency division. We investigate the effects of the input frequency and input amplitude on the operation.
