چکیده

A unique feature of oscillators is that small but sustained external perturbations lead to unboundedly large changes in phase, thereby making standard harmonic balance (HB) inapplicable to realistic oscillator phase macromodels. In this paper, we rectify this situation by presenting a novel extension of HB that is capable of handling oscillator phase macromodels. Key to the new method, termed PPV-HB, is a formulation that separates unboundedly increasing phase terms from the bounded, periodic components. PPV-HB can be used not only on individual oscillators, but it also enables the application of HB-like techniques for simulating systemlevel equation systems composed of higher-level macromodels of blocks. We validate PPV-HB on individual oscillators and a PLL system, demonstrating excellent matches with transient simulation using phase macromodels. Speedups of 1-2 orders of magnitude are obtained, over and above additional speedups of another 2-3 orders of magnitude that stem from using macromodels (as opposed to full circuit simulation).

A reliable and efficient procedure for oscillator PPV computation, with phase noise macromodeling applications

The main effort in oscillator phase noise calculation and macromodeling lies in computing a vector function called the perturbation projection vector (PPV). Current techniques for PPV calculation use time-domain numerics to generate the system’s monodromy matrix, followed by full or partial eigenanalysis. We present superior methods that find the PPV using only a single linear solution of the o...

Solution of strongly nonlinear oscillator problem arising in Plasma Physics with Newton Harmonic Balance Method

In this paper, Newton Harmonic Balance Method (NHBM) is applied to obtain the analytical solution for an electron beam injected into a plasma tube where the magnetic field is cylindrical and increases towards the axis in inverse proportion to the radius. Periodic solution is analytically verified and consequently the relation between the Natural Frequency and the amplitude is obtained in an ana...

Hierarchical Abstraction of Phase Response Curves of Synchronized Systems of Coupled Oscillators

We prove that a group of injection-locked oscillators, each modelled using a nonlinear phase macromodel, responds as a single oscillator to small external perturbations. More precisely, we show that any group of injection-locked oscillators has a single effective PRC [1] or PPV [2], [3] that characterises its phase/timing response to small external perturbations. This result constitutes a found...

Nonlinear Circuit Analysis in Time and Frequency-domain Example: A Pure LC Resonator

To predict nonlinear circuit behaviour, harmonic balance (HB) is a popular and useful frequency-domain technique. But given its mathematical nature, it can only converge to mathematical solutions being harmonically related to the input sources into the circuit. Nevertheless, the mathematical solutions to a nonlinear system do not necessarily need to be harmonically related to the input signals ...
