The Henon map forms one of the most-studied two-dimensional discrete-time dynamical systems that exhibits chaotic behavior. The Henon map takes a point (Xn,Yn) in the plane andmaps it to a new point (Xn+1,Yn+1). In this paper, a chaotic pulse generator based on the chaotic Henon map is proposed. It consists of aHenon map function subcircuit to realize the Henon map and another subcircuit to perform the iterative operation. The Henon map subcircuit comprises operational amplifiers, multipliers, delay elements and resistors, whereas, the iterative subcircuit is implemented with a simple design that comprises of an edge forming circuit followed by a monostable multivibrator and a voltage controlled switch without the use of any clock control. The proposed design can be used to realize the Henon map and also to generate a chaotic pulse train, with a controllable time interval and pulse position. The proposed circuit is implemented and simulated using Multisim 13.0 and MATLAB R2019b. The chaotic nature of the generated pulse train and also the time interval between the consecutive pulses is verified by the calculation of its Lyapunov exponents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
