Analysis of Oscillator Injection Locking by Harmonic Balance Method

A new approach to analyze injection locking mode of oscillators under small external excitation is proposed. The proposed approach exploits existence conditions of the solution of HB linear system with degenerate matrix. The method allows one to obtain the locking range for an arbitrary oscillator circuit with an arbitrary periodic injection waveform. The approach can be easily implemented into a circuit simulator. Examples are given to confirm the correctness of the new approach.
