We explore the chaotic behavior of a nonlinear electrical circuit constructed with simple components such as diodes and linear operational amplifiers. The circuit may be regarded as a nonlinear analog computer that gives a nearly exact solution of a particular chaotic model. Detailed comparisons between theoretical and experimental bifurcation points and power spectra yield differences of less than 1%.
