In the present work we analyze the statistics of a set that is obtained by calculating a stroboscopic section of phase trajectories in a harmonically driven van der Pol oscillator. It is shown that this set is similar to a linear shift on a circle with an irrational rotation number, which is defined as the
detuning between the external and natural frequencies. The dependence of minimal return times on the size ε of the return interval is studied experimentally for the golden ratio. Furthermore, it is also found that in this case, the value of the Afraimovich–Pesin dimension is $\alpha_c = 1$.
