TLDR
The Langevin equations describing the deterministic and stochastic behaviour of an oscillator by perturbation methods are derived and applied to a Van der Pol oscillator exhibiting parametric sideband amplification and to a realized oscillator demonstrating the applicability of the theory to technically relevant circuits.
Abstract
In this paper the general correlation spectrum of an oscillator with white and f -α noise sources is derived from the Langevin equations describing the deterministic and stochastic behaviour of an oscillator by perturbation methods. The treatment of f -α noise and the influence of the finite measuring time on the noise spectra are included in a time domain calculation. The theory is applied to a Van der Pol oscillator exhibiting parametric sideband amplification and to a realized oscillator demonstrating the applicability of the theory to technically relevant circuits

Phase noise in oscillators: a unifying theory and numerical methods for characterization

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a solid foundation for phase noise that is valid for any oscillator, regardless of operating mechanism, and established novel results about the dynamics of stable nonlinear oscillators in the presence of perturbations, both deterministic and random.

Class-C Harmonic CMOS VCOs, With a General Result on Phase Noise

TL;DR: The analysis of phase noise is extended to encompass a general harmonic oscillator, showing that all phase noise relations previously obtained for specific LC oscillator topologies are special cases of a very general and remarkably simple result.

A study of oscillator jitter due to supply and substrate noise

TL;DR: In this paper, the timing jitter of single-ended and differential CMOS ring oscillators due to supply and substrate noise was investigated and the concept of frequency modulation was applied to derive relationships that express different types of jitter in terms of the sensitivity of the oscillation frequency to the supply or substrate voltage.

Injection locking of microwave solid-state oscillators

TL;DR: Injection locking of microwave solid-state oscillators is discussed in this article, based on the familiar theorem that the total impedance times the current is equal to the applied voltage, based on which the locking range, large-signal injection, locking stability, and AM and FM noise are analyzed.
