The circuit consists of a differential negative resistance device such as a Gunn diode or magnetron tube connected to a resonator such as a LC circuit, dielectric resonator, or cavity resonator. To determine the frequency and amplitude of oscillation, the circuit is thought of as divided by a plane (red) into two parts: the negative resistance ...
A DC bias voltage V s which moves the operating point into the negative resistance region, provides power for the circuit. The negative resistance cancels the positive resistance in the resonant circuit, creating a circuit without damping, which generates spontaneous electrical oscillations at the resonant frequency of the tuned circuit.
Negative resistance (voltage controlled) oscillator: Since VCNR ("N" type) devices require a low impedance bias and are stable for load impedances less than r, [103] the ideal oscillator circuit for this device has the form shown at top right, with a voltage source V bias to bias the device into its negative resistance region, and parallel ...
Pearson-Anson oscillator circuit. The Pearson–Anson effect, discovered in 1922 by Stephen Oswald Pearson [1] and Horatio Saint George Anson, [2] [3] is the phenomenon of an oscillating electric voltage produced by a neon bulb connected across a capacitor, when a direct current is applied through a resistor.

The negative resistance cancels the positive resistance R in the circuit, exciting oscillations i(t). DCL is the DC load line, which establishes the Q point. SSL is the small signal load line, which is the operating condition when the oscillator first starts up and oscillations have a small amplitude.
A "locally active resistor" is a device that has negative resistance and is active (it can amplify), providing the power to generate the oscillating current. The locally active resistor and nonlinearity are combined in the device N R, which is called "Chua's diode". This device is not sold commercially but is implemented in various ways by ...
The Pierce oscillator, with two capacitors and one inductor, is equivalent to the Colpitts oscillator. [8] Equivalence can be shown by choosing the junction of the two capacitors as the ground point. An electrical dual of the standard Pierce oscillator using two inductors and one capacitor is equivalent to the Hartley oscillator.
There are multiple ways to simulate Chua's diode using such components. One standard design is realized by connecting two negative impedance converters in parallel. A negative impedance converter (NIC) is a simple op amp circuit that has negative resistance. Another implementation uses one negative impedance converter to create the negative ...
