Abstract :
A methodology to perform sensitivity analysis on a given oscillator circuit prior to its construction is presented. The method uses a computer program developed to obtain the solution of the oscillation equations, and a commercially available curve-fitting routine. Results of the sensitivity analysis performed on a 2 GHz oscillator circuit are presented
