Abstract

Although chaotic signals are considered to have great potential applications in radar and communication engineering, their broadband spectrum makes it difficult to design an applicable amplifier or an attenuator for amplitude conditioning. Moreover, the transformation between a unipolar signal and a bipolar signal is often required. In this paper, a more intelligent hardware implementation based on field programmable analog array (FPAA) is constructed for chaotic systems with complete amplitude control. Firstly, two chaotic systems with complete amplitude control are introduced, one of which has the property of offset boosting with total amplitude control, while the other has offset boosting and a parameter for partial control. Both cases can achieve complete amplitude control including amplitude rescaling and offset boosting. Secondly, linear synchronization is established based on the special structure of chaotic system. Finally, experimental circuits are constructed on an FPAA where the predicted amplitude control is realized through only two independent configurable analog module (CAM) gain values.

1. Introduction
Chaotic signals have great potential applications in radar
and communication engineering because of their broadband
frequency spectrum.[1–20]However, this introduces a corre-
sponding challenge to signal-conditioning since it is difficult
to construct an amplifier or a polarity conversion circuit with
a broadband frequency response. The chaotic signal usually
cannot meet the amplitude requirement for practical applica-
tions. Polarity conversion is also critical since some integrated
circuits require either unipolar or bipolar signals. Although
some effort has been made to realize amplitude control for
chaotic signal through total amplitude scaling and partial am-
plitude scaling,[21–24]the polarity control of chaotic signal has
not received the same attention despite being essential in elec-
tronic engineering.[25–28]
Offset boosting is associated with the DC component of
the variable, and our study shows that one or more variables
in a chaotic system can obtain offset boosting by introduc-
ing a new constant.[26]Consequently the conversion between
a unipolar chaotic signal and a bipolar signal can be realized
by a single DC source or a control rheostat rather than a com-
plicated hardware peripheral unit. Foregoing research has al-
lowed us to realize a system with complete amplitude control
by using amplitude scaling and offset boosting. As shown in
Fig. 1, the signal modulator is replaced by two controllers for
amplitude rescaling and offset boosting, giving complete con-
trol of the chaotic signals for chaos application systems.

... To make signals meet the requirements of artificial devices, they are often controlled geometrically, including amplitude control, [28] offset control, [29,30] and rotation control. [31] To keep the amplitude of chaotic signals within the limits of circuit elements, additional linear transformations are usually required to obtain the desired attractor size. ...
... However, the above geometric controls are studied in real-valued chaotic systems. [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] At present, there is little research on the geometric control of complex-valued chaotic systems. [19] In this article, we study the amplitude control and rotation control of a memristive complex-valued laser chaotic system. ...

Dynamical analysis, geometric control and digital hardware implementation of a complex-valued laser system with a locally active memristor
Article
Full-text available
  • Aug 2023
In order to make the peak and offset of the signal meet the requirements of artificial equipment, dynamical analysis and geometric control of laser system has become indispensable. In this paper, a locally active memristor with non-volatile memory is introduced into a complex-valued Lorenz laser system. By using numerical measures, complex dynamical behaviors of the memristive laser system are uncovered. It appears the alternating appearance of quasi-periodic and chaotic oscillations. The mechanism of transformation from a quasi-periodic pattern to a chaotic pattern is revealed from the perspective of Hamilton energy. Interestingly, initial-values-oriented extreme multi-stability patterns are found, where the coexisting attractors have the same Lyapunov exponents. In addition, the introduction of a memristor greatly improves the complexity of the laser system. Moreover, to control the amplitude and offset of the chaotic signal, two kinds of geometric control methods including amplitude control and rotation control are designed. The results show that these two geometric control methods have revised the size and position of the chaotic signal without changing the chaotic dynamics. Finally, a digital hardware device is developed and the experiment outputs agree fairly well with those of the numerical simulations.

An Offset-Boostable Chaotic Oscillator with Broken Symmetry
Article
Full-text available
  • Sep 2022
A new 3D offset-boostable symmetric system is proposed by an absolute value function introduced. The system seems to be more fragile and easier to the state of broken symmetry. Coexisting symmetric pairs of attractors get closer and closer, and finally get emerged together. Basins of attraction show how these coexisting attractors are arranged in phase space. All these coexisting attractors can be easily offset boosted in phase space by a single constant when the initial condition is revised accordingly. PSpice simulations prove all the phenomena.

Electromagnetic induction effects on electrical activity within a memristive Wilson neuron model
Article
Full-text available
Neurons can exhibit abundant electrical activities due to physical effects of various electrophysiology environments. The electromagnetic induction flows can be triggered by changes in neuron membrane potential, which can be equivalent to a memristor applying on membrane potential. To imitate the electromagnetic induction effects, we propose a three-variable memristor-based Wilson neuron model. Using several kinetic analysis methods, the memristor parameter- and initial condition-related electrical activities are explored intensively. It is revealed that the memristive Wilson neuron model can display rich electrical activities, including the asymmetric coexisting electrical activities and antimonotonicity phenomenon. Finally, using off-the-shelf discrete components, an analog circuit on a hardware level is implemented to verify the numerically simulated coexisting electrical activities. Studying these rich electrical activities in neurons can build the groundwork to widen the neuron-based engineering applications.

Activation Function Effects and Simplified Implementation for Hopfield Neural Network
Article
Full-text available
  • Jun 2023
The activation function is crucial in the Hopfield neural network (HNN) to restrict the input–output relation of each neuron. The physical realizability and simplicity of the hardware circuit of activation function are beneficial to promote the practical engineering application of the HNN. However, the HNN commonly used hyperbolic tangent activation function involves a complex hardware circuit implementation. This paper discusses a piecewise-linear activation function (PWL-AF) with simplified circuit implementation and a tri-neuron small-world HNN is built as a paradigm. The hardware implementation circuit of the HNN is greatly simplified, benefited from the PWL-AF with a simple analog circuit. Meanwhile, the dynamics related to the PWL-AF and initial conditions are numerically explored. The numerical results demonstrate that the PWL-AF-based HNN can produce dynamical behaviors like the HNN based on the hyperbolic tangent activation function. Nevertheless, the multistability with up to six kinds of coexisting multiple attractors emerged because of the PWL-AF breakpoint. This can give more flexible and potential aspects in multistability-based engineering applications. Especially, the PWL-AF breakpoint value simultaneously acts as the offset booster and amplitude controller in regulating the offset boosting and amplitude rescaling of neuron states. Afterwards, an analog circuit with three straightforward operational amplifiers (op-amp)-based circuit modules is designed for the PWL-AF, and a PCB-based analog circuit is thereby implemented for the tri-neuron small-world HNN. The hardware experiments agree with the numerical simulations, implying the feasibility of the PWL-AF simplification for the HNN.

Memristor-type chaotic mapping
Article
In this letter, a compact memristor structure unit is applied for constructing the discrete chaotic system and, consequently, a memristor-type chaotic mapping is designed. Two independent system parameters are proven to be partial and total amplitude controllers. Meanwhile, the internal memristor parameter returns the map a typical bifurcation. Finally, a hardware experiment based on STM32 is carried out by verifying the theoretical finding. To the best of our knowledge, the memristor-type chaotic mapping has not been previously reported.

Inverse Full State Hybrid Projective Synchronization For Chaotic Maps with Different Dimensions
Article
Full-text available
  • Aug 2016
A new synchronization scheme for chaotic (hyperchaotic) maps with different dimensions is presented. Specifically, given a drive system map with dimension n and a response system with dimension m, the proposed approach enables each drive system state to be synchronized with a linear response combination of the response system states. The method, based on the Lyapunov stability theory and the pole placement technique, presents some useful features: (i) it enables synchronization to be achieved for both cases of n < m and n > m; (ii) it is rigorous, being based on theorems; (iii) it can be readily applied to any chaotic (hyperchaotic) maps defined to date. Finally, the capability of the approach is illustrated by synchronization examples between the two-dimensional Hénon map (as the drive system) and the three-dimensional hyperchaotic Wang map (as the response system), and the three-dimensional Hénon-like map (as the drive system) and the two-dimensional Lorenz discrete-time system (as the response system).

In order to achieve SLS on the dynamical network with communication delay, we design linear feedback control and adaptive control, respectively. By using the Lyapunov function method, we obtain some sufficient conditions for global stability of SLS. To verify these results, some numerical examples are further presented. This work may find potential applications in consensus of multi-agent systems.

Synchronization of fractional-order unified chaotic system via linear control
Article
Chaos synchronization in fractional-order unified chaotic system is disscussed in this paper. Based on the stability theory of fractional-order system, the control law is presented to achieve chaos synchronization. The advantage of the proposed controllers is that they are linear and have lower dimensions than that of the states. With this technique it is very easy to find the suitable feedback constant. Simulation results for fractional-order Lorenz, Lü and Chen chaotic systems are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Adaptive fuzzy synchronization for a class of fractional-order neural networks
Article
  • Mar 2017
In this paper, synchronization for a class of uncertain fractional-order neural networks with external disturbances is discussed by means of adaptive fuzzy control. Fuzzy logic systems, whose inputs are chosen as synchronization errors, are employed to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions. Based on the fractional Lyapunov stability criterion, an adaptive fuzzy synchronization controller is designed, and the stability of the closed-loop system, the convergence of the synchronization error, as well as the boundedness of all signals involved can be guaranteed. To update the fuzzy parameters, fractional-order adaptations laws are proposed. Just like the stability analysis in integer-order systems, a quadratic Lyapunov function is used in this paper. Finally, simulation examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Meminductive Wein-bridge chaotic oscillator
Article
A meminductor is a new type of memory device. It is of importance to study meminductor model and its application in nonlinear circuit prospectively. For this purpose, we present a novel mathematical model of meminductor, which considers the effects of internal state variable and therefore will be more consistent with future actual meminductor device. By using several operational amplifiers, multipliers, capacitors and resistors, the equivalent circuit of the model is designed for exploring its characteristics. This equivalent circuit can be employed to design meminductor-based application circuits as a meminductor emulator. By employing simulation experiment, we investigate the characteristics of this meminductor driven by sinusoidal excitation. The characteristic curves of current-flux (i-φ), voltage-flux (v-φ), v-ρ (internal variable of meminductor) and φ-ρ for the meminductor model are given by theoretical analyses and simulations. The curve of current-flux (i-φ) is a pinched hysteretic loop passing through the origin. The area bounding each sub-loop deforms as the frequency varies, and with the increase of frequency, the shape of the pinched hysteretic loop tends to be a straight line, indicating a dependence on frequency for the meminductor. Based on the meminductor model, a meminductive Wien-bridge chaotic oscillator is designed and analyzed. Some dynamical properties, including equilibrium points and the stability, bifurcation and Lyapunov exponent of the oscillator, are investigated in detail by theoretical analyses and simulations. By utilizing Lyapunov spectrum, bifurcation diagram and dynamical map, it is found that the system has periodic, quasi-periodic and chaotic states. Furthermore, there exist some complicated nonlinear phenomena for the system, such as constant Lyapunov exponent spectrum and nonlinear amplitude modulation of chaotic signals. Moreover, we also find the nonlinear phenomena of coexisting bifurcation and coexisting attractors, including coexistence of two different chaotic attractors and coexistence of two different periodic attractors. The phenomenon shows that the state of this oscilator is highly sensitive to its initial valuse, not only for chaotic state but also for periodic state, which is called coexistent oscillation in this paper. The basic mechanism and potential applications of the existing attractors are illustrated, which can be used to generate robust pseudo random sequence, or multiplexed pseudo random sequence. Finally, by using the equivalent circuit of the proposed meminducive model, we realize an analog electronic circuit of the meminductive Wien-bridge chaotic system. The results of circuit experiment are displayed by the oscilloscope, which can verify the chaotic characteristics of the oscillator. The oscillator, as a pseudo random signal source, can be used to generate chaotic signals for the applications in chaotic cryptography and secret communications.

Variable-boostable chaotic flows
Article
A new regime of chaotic flows is explored in which one of the variables has the freedom of offset boosting. By a single introduced constant, the DC offset of the variable can be boosted to any level, and therefore the variable can switch between a bipolar signal and a unipolar signal according to the constant. This regime of chaotic flows is convenient for chaos applications since it can reduce the number of components required for signal conditioning. Offset boosting can be combined with amplitude control to achieve the full range of linear transformations of the signal. The symmetry of the variable-boostable system may be destroyed by the new introduced boosting controller; however, a different symmetry is obtained that preserves any existing multistability.

Amplitude-phase control of a novel chaotic attractor
Article
  • Jan 2016
A novel chaotic attractor with a fractal wing structure is proposed and analyzed in terms of its basic dynamical properties. The most interesting feature of this system is that it has complex dynamical behavior, especially coexisting attractors for particular ranges of the parameters, including two coexisting periodic or strange attractors that can coexist with a third strange attractor. Amplitude and phase control methods are described since they are convenient for circuit design and chaotic signal applications. An appropriately chosen parameter in a particular quadratic coefficient can realize partial amplitude control. An added linear term can change the symmetry and provide an accessible knob to control the phase polarity. Finally, an amplitude-phase controllable circuit is designed using PSpice, and it shows good agreement with the theoretical analysis.

Constructing Chaotic Systems with Total Amplitude Control
Article
A general method is introduced for controlling the amplitude of the variables in chaotic systems by modifying the degree of one or more of the terms in the governing equations. The method is applied to the Sprott B system as an example to show its flexibility and generality. The method may introduce infinite lines of equilibrium points, which influence the dynamics in the neighborhood of the equilibria and reorganize the basins of attraction, altering the multistability. However, the isolated equilibrium points of the original system and their stability are retained with their basic properties. Electrical circuit implementation shows the convenience of amplitude control, and the resulting oscillations agree well with results from simulation.
