  • Abstract
    Exact conditions for the synchronization of the Oscillations of a linear resistanceless LC(t) circuit to a harmonic/subharmonic of the frequency of the capacitance variation are derived for the case of a periodically pulsed capacitance. It is shown that the magnitude of the largest undesired spectral component relative to that of the desired output is given by -A_{0}(N) + 20 \\log N_{\\pi \\nu} (dB) , where A_{0}(N) is determined by numerical computation for several N , and \\nu is the fractional offset of the resonant frequency from the Nth harmonic of half the synchronization frequency.
