Analysis of negative‐resistance oscillators with piecewise nonlinearity

摘要

AbstractAn iterative method of solution of negative‐resistance oscillators with piecewise‐analytical characteristics is presented. The method allows the determination of the frequency and the harmonic content of the waveform as a function of the circuit parameters and bias of the nonlinear device.An application of the method, extended to the second order, for a polynomial characteristic limited by two straight lines is also reported. The results are compared with those obtained by numerical integrat
