Abstract :
Injection locking of oscillators subject to small periodic excitations is derived from existence conditions of the solution of the small signal harmonic balance degenerate system. The resulting expression for the locking range can be applied to any oscillator circuit with arbitrary periodic injection waveform, and can be easily implemented into a circuit simulator. The application of the general expression to some special cases is considered, and comparison with known results is given. Theoretical results are confirmed by SPICE simulations.
