Most clcctronic chaos generators developed thus f i r have used nonlincar circiiils wilh Cliua diodes or hy.qteresis-type elements (as an example, scc IS, 61). Thcy generate rather low-dimetision chaotic signals: tl~ereitre usually less than three non-negirtivc Lyapunov cxponenls, corresponding to n dimension of < 5 . The low complcxily of the chaos yields a low degree o f confideddily, and an eavesdropper can defeat the chaotic key relativcly easily. In contrast, oscillators einploying dclaycd nonliiicar feedback caii generate high-dimcnsional clinos ( h c nuiiibcr of positive Lyapunov cxponciits can be > 10). Optical systems with nonlincar fedhick, oiie employing R ring fibre laser [2] and thc other a wavelength tunable laser diode 171, have recently bccn demonslrnled.

A sct of threc parallel RLC filters with operational amplificrs is realised with 95pH inductors, capacitors C, = 2.17nP,C, = 1.27iiF, C, = 89SpF, and resistors RI = 6.7!&, X2= 6 . 8 k Q R, = 8.9kR, yielding rewniince frcqucncics: f i = 35Oki-Iz, h = 458kHz,and& = 545kHz spa& by A$= 100kEIz.

R e w h Results obtained froin numerical simulations and experirnentr, are shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The chaotic signal V‘l) gcncrated by the oscillator (Fig. 2 4 , its expcriiiicntal FET spectrum (Fig. 2b), and the mlculated autmrrchtion function (ACF) (Fig. 2c), wcrc obtained withh = 362kHu, p = 11. The spectrum of the signal is that of white noise. The ACF fcdturcs a sin& pcak typical of high-dimensional chaotic signals. The dimensionality of the chaos is estimatcd to bz d = 0.4p.T/z 120, which IS more than 20 times highcr than diincnsionaliticspreviously reported. The bifurcation diagrtrms (Fig. 3n and b) show excellent a m r d belween the numerical simulations and experiments, illustrating Ihat the numerical simulations we used can be applied to circuits with different parameters and different t y p of nonlincaritics.
Conclu,~io~ We have described a nonlinear time-delay4 fccdback circuit, mnstructed of standard clcctronic components, for the generatioil of high-dimcnsionnl chaos. Thc bandwidth of the chaotic signal generated can be easily matched to the standards used
