Transition Dynamics of Multistable Tunnel-Diode Oscillator Used for Effective Amplitude Modulation

Abstract

<p>The transition dynamics of a multistable tunnel-diode oscillator is characterized for modulating amplitude of outputted oscillatory signal. The base oscillator possesses fixed-point and limit-cycle stable points for a unique bias voltage. Switching these two stable points by external signal can render an efficient method for modulation of output amplitude. The time required for state transition is expected to be dominated by the aftereffect of the limiting point. However, it is found that its influence decreases exponentially with respect to the amplitude of external signal. Herein, we first describe numerically the pulse generation scheme with the transition dynamics of the oscillator and then validate it with several time-domain measurements using a test circuit.</p>
