An experimental study of the development dynamics of the chaotic oscillation mode in a deterministic self-oscillatory microwave system

A possibility of experimentally obtaining an increased-output-power noise generator operating in the 3-cm wavelength range is considered. The noise generator was obtained by changing the self-excited oscillator, based on an avalanche-transit diode, to the chaotic generation mode by an external microwave signal action. Spectra of obtained chaotic generator oscillations with different parameters of both the generator and the external signal are presented. The statistical estimate of the quality of generated noise is given.
