Chaos Control in Transmission Lines Coupled to Nonlinear Circuits

In a transmission line oscillator a linear wave travels along a piece of cable, and interacts with terminating electrical components. We present a simple model of a two-conductor transmission lines, connected to a transistor. Loss of signal integrity may manifest itself as chaotic behavior. In a real circuit, such chaotic signals, could be transmitted into the primary circuitry and disrupt or possibly damage the device. A chaos control method is presented that achieves chaos suppression by small perturbations of the resistance at one of the boundaries of the transmission line.
