Abstract

The authors formalise and expand an empirically observed waveform symmetry condition which minimises the transformation of low-frequency noise into the close-in phase noise spectrum of an electrical oscillator. The result provides an insight into the impact of waveform symmetry on the phase noise performance of electrical oscillators.
