Analysis of RLD Circuit by means of Phase Space with a non-ideal diode model

Abstract: In this work the non-linear and chaotic behaviour for the RLD circuit is analysed, which is modelled by state space and numerically simulated considering the diode model an association between nonlinear resistances and capacitances. It has been possible to characterize the dynamics of the circuit through period doubles and chaotic behaviour. The Lyapunov exponent is calculated to show the chaotic behaviour of this circuit. Simulated results are in good agreement with experimental data.
