This paper presents an analog-computer simulation of a circuit familiar to many radio and electronics engineers — the squegging oscillator. A relatively simple model of a nonlinear transistor is shown to be sufficient to investigate stability conditions associated with the oscillator and to accurately duplicate the phenomenon of squegging. The success of the transistor model in this application also suggests its use in other simulations involving transistors.
