description

A method for the analysis of driven oscillators under high-level injection is presented. It applies to single-loop feedback systems with a memoryless nonlinear element and a second-order (high-Q) tank circuit. The analysis technique employed combines the classical block-diagram approach with an improved firstharmonic dynamic modelling to provide a couple of differential equations capable of accounting for the amplitude-dependence effects arising under large-signal operation. On this basis, first-and second-order approximate expressions are also derived, which allow a better understanding of the validity limits of previous theories on this subject. As an example of application, both the steady-state and transient behaviour of synchronised hyperbolic-nonlinearity oscillators is investigated.
