Analysis of the Transient Dynamics of Microwave Oscillators

A semianalytical method for the global prediction and understanding of the transient dynamics of oscillator circuits is presented. It covers both the linear and nonlinear transient stages, which are related with the circuit generalized eigenvalues, here introduced for the first time. The transient model relies on the application of the implicit function theorem to the harmonic-balance (HB) system, in order to derive a reduced-order nonlinear...
