Albuquerque Received 8 September 2006; Revised 6 November 2006; Accepted 11 February 2007 ´ Recommended by Jose Manoel Balthazar We have implemented an operational amplifier inductorless realization of the Chua’s cir- cuit. We have registered time series from its dynamical variables with the resistor R as the control parameter and varying from 1300 Ω to 2000 Ω. Experimental time series at fixed R were used to reconstruct attractors by the delay vector technique. The flow attractors ´ and their Poincare maps considering parameters such as the Lyapunov spectrum, its sub- product the Kaplan-Yorke dimension, and the information dimension are also analyzed here. The results for a typical double scroll attractor indicate a chaotic behavior character- ized by a positive Lyapunov exponent and with a Kaplan-Yorke dimension of 2.14. The occurrence of chaos was also investigated through numerical simulations of the Chua’s circuit set of differential equations. Copyright © 2007 R. M. Rubinger et al.

Introduction Chaotic electronic circuits [1] have been widely studied during the last few decades due to their easy implementation, robustness, reproducibility of results, and also as a test plat- form for synchronization [2–4], chaos control [4–6], signal encryption [7], and secure communications [8, 9]. Also it is easy, through Kirchhoff ’s laws, to obtain the circuit de- scribed by a set o
