Abstract

A VHDL-AMS model of an injection locked voltage controlled oscillator is presented in this paper. The model is valid for any harmonic of the synchronization signal. Properties such as locking-range, bandwidth and settling time are taken into account. The model is used in mixed simulations to reduce the computation time. A comparison with a schematic LC oscillator shows very good correlation.
