Abstract :
Amplifier saturation converts the nominal one-sided beat spectrum of a driven unlocked oscillator into a two-sided one of asymmetric amplitude. It is shown that this can be attributed to the conversion of the circularly polarised phase modulation vector to one with an elliptical component.
