Frequency stability in resonator-stabilized oscillators

A simplified stability analysis of resonator-stabilized oscillators is carried out by using the describing function approach. On this basis a criterion for the evaluation and optimization of the frequency stabilization introduction in an oscillator by a resonating element with a large quality factor is proposed. In particular, a frequency-stabilization index which can be conveniently used in the design of highly stable oscillators is defined. The validity of this performance index has been verified in the design of microwave oscillators using dielectric resonators as frequency-stabilizing elements. >
