An electronic circuit realization of the logistic difference equation ispresented using analog electronics. The behavior of the realized system isevaluated against computer simulations of the same. The circuit is found toexhibit the entire range of dynamics of the logistic equation: fixed points,periodicity, period doubling, chaos and intermittency. Quantitativemeasurements of the dynamics of the realized system are presented and are foundto be in good agreement with the theoretical values. Some possible applicationsof such a realization are briefly discussed.
