Experimental investigation of complex dynamics of chaotic self-oscillator

This report presents the results of experimental investigation of a delayed feedback klystron oscillator in the regimes of single-frequency, self-modulation and chaotic oscillations and of the experimental study of the external harmonic signal influence on the complex dynamics of the oscillator. Experimental researches were carried out on an S-band five-cavity klystron of medium power level with double-gap cavities operating on the /spl pi/-mode.
