Abstract

A new approach using perturbation theory for simulating the noise behavior in free running microwave oscillators based on a piecewise harmonic balance technique is outlined and applied to a planar integrated microwave oscillator at 14 GHz. A single-sideband phase noise of -90 dBc/Hz at an offset frequency of 100 kHz was measured. Simulated and measured single-sideband phase noise agree within the accuracy of measurements. The method is neither limited to certain circuit topologies nor to certain nature of noise sources.
