Abstract
A nonlinear oscillator method and apparatus. According to one embodiment, a nonlinear oscillator is closed. The nonlinear oscillator includes a first linear amplifier, a second linear amplifier and nonlinear amplifier having a substantially similar design that includes an adjustable linear transconductance region width. The input/output characteristics of the nonlinear oscillator can be represented by van der Pol equations. In another embodiment, a method for providing nonlinear oscillations is disclosed.
