  • Abstract
    A method for calculating phase noise based on a particle diffusion model in the phase plane is introduced. This approach allows for the derivation of closed-form solutions, which can be used to see the explicit dependencies of phase noise on circuit component values. The theory is applied to the Van der Pol and Colpitts oscillators, and comparisons to simulations show close matching.
