Abstract :
Large signal models needed for fast time domain modelling of oscillator circuits are considered. The models are based on harmonic linearization and derived for conventional time domain simulators. The paper describes the techniques for the use of first harmonic of driving signal only. The model consists of three coupled parts: DC, real, and imaginary subcircuits. Building of those subcircuits for exponential non-linearity is simple and could be recommended as basic for other nonlinearities. Several modelling experiments with oscillator circuits are reviewed
