  • Abstract
    Measurements of the locking voltage and frequency range for a simple negative-resistance oscillator are shown to be in excellent agreement with a theory which assumes a van der Pol nonlinearity. When the noise generated in the nonlinear element is taken into account, the measurements of output noise produced by a noise driving current are also in agreement with theory.
