Abstract :
A delay-based time-domain model is used to predict the locking dynamics in injection-locked non-harmonic oscillators, such as ring or relaxation oscillators. The locking dynamics predicted by the model are verified against simulations and measurements of a four-stage ring oscillator circuit built using discrete components
