A new simulation technique for RF oscillators

Condon, Marissa (2011) A new simulation technique for RF oscillators. Electronics Letters, 47 (13). pp. 740-742. ISSN 0013-5194

Abstract
The study of phase-noise in oscillators and the design of new circuit topologies necessitates an efficient technique for the simulation of oscillators. While numerous approaches have been developed over the years e.g. [1-3], each has its own merits and demerits. In this contribution, an asymptotic numeric method developed in e.g. [4-5] is applied to the simulation of RF oscillators. The method is closely related to the stroboscopic and high-order averaging method in [6] and the Heterogeneous Multiscale Methods in [7]. The method is advantageous in that the same methodology can be applied for the simulation of general circuit problems involving highly oscillatory ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations and delay differential equations. Furthermore and counter-intuitively, its efficacy improves with increasing frequency, a feature that is very favourable in modern communications systems where operating frequencies are ever rising. Results for a CMOS oscillator will confirm the validity and efficiency of the proposed method.
