Abstract :
An original theory of phase noise in synchronized oscillators is outlined through the phase-locked loop (PLL) approach. The phase-noise spectrum obtained first by the analytical PLL theory and then by a simulator have been compared with very good accuracy. This new approach permits the best understanding of noise conversion in synchronized devices
