The describing function theory is a powerful mathematical tool to predict oscillations in non-linear dynamical systems. This theory is here invoked to design a random signal generator and realized by using analog electronic elements. Then, and according to experimental results, histograms of the resultant signal are shown along with the generated signal in the time domain. Finally, the proposed electronic circuit is simple and cheap to construct.
