Abstract :
We present a completely analytical solution to a filter-comparator oscillator system, and verify it by macromodel simulations and experiment. We discuss the applications of this kind of oscillator in a vector-locked loop system for continuous time filter tuning. We also apply our solution to the operation of a resonant switched mode inverter
