Abstract
It was shown previously in an experiment that when high frequency signals (on the order of 1 MHz) were injected into this low frequency amplifier, the nonlinearities of the pn junctions caused period doubling, chaos, and very low frequency oscillations (on the order of 1 Hz). In this paper we present theory and simulations to explain the existence of the low frequency oscillations.
