Abstract:We present a method for analyzing the phase noise of oscillators based on feedback driven high quality factor resonators. Our approach is to derive the phase drift of the oscillator by projecting the stochastic oscillator dynamics onto a slow time scale corresponding physically to the long relaxation time of the resonator. We derive general expressions for the phase drift generated by noise sources in the electronic feedback loop of the oscillator. These are mixed with the signal through the nonlinear amplifie… Show more
