Abstract

Self-powered chaos signal generator is potentially useful in future medical system, such as low cost portable human healthy monitor and treatment without external power source. For both functional and power unit, the power level of electric energy generator and consumption is a key factor for self-powered system. In this paper, we have investigated the power consumption of three typical output modes of a simple chaos circuit. Analytical analysis for power consumption of fixed output mode is obtained for evaluating the power characteristics of chaos signal generator. Numerical calculations are given for predicting the power characteristics of periodical and chaotic output modes. This study is important for not only understanding the power consumption of chaos signal generator, but also guiding new self-powered chaos signal generator design.
