On the implementation of a parametric oscillator in analog applications

Abstract

This paper presents an electronic circuit that exhibits parametric resonance, namely a parametric RLC oscillator. The circuit exploits parametric resonance in an analog application, namely, a gain-frequency dependent switch. In such circuit, when the amplitude and frequency of the parametric excitation varies then a transition curves, in the parameter space, are computed by using an algorithm that calculates the symbolic monodromy matrix. Such curves are interpreted to implement an analog application.
