Abstract
The chaotic behaviour of the Colpitts oscillator reported by M.P.
Kennedy is further investigated by means of PSpice simulations.
Chaos is also observed with the default Ebers-Moll BJT transistor
model with no memory. When the model is extended with memory and
losses chaos do not occur and a 3'rd order limit cycle is found.
If the the forward Early voltage parameter is added chaos is
observed again. An examination of the eigenvalues of the
oscillator with the simple memoryless Ebers-Moll BJT injection
model is presented. By adding bulk resistors to the model stable
limit cycles of orders 1, 2, 3 and 4 are found.
