Abstract:Experimental study is presented to uncover entrainment property of Pierce oscillator circuit (i.e., one of the most standard circuits for crystal oscillators) subject to sinusoidal external forcing. In contrast to the well-known Arnold tongues observed in a wide class of forced nonlinear systems, asymmetric shape was observed as an entrainment region of the circuit in two-dimensional parameter space spanned by the external forcing strength and frequency. Computation of the impedance curve revealed that the asy… Show more
