Abstract
A new multiple-probe method is presented for simulation of highly nonlinear ring oscillators using the harmonic balance method. This method is robust and efficient compared to the single-probe method and readily converges for a wide range of single-ended and differential ring oscillators with identical or mismatched delay cells.
