Abstract
The analysis of noise effects in oscillators with one degree of freedom is extended to include non-linearities in which the frequency of oscillation is a function of amplitude of oscillation, i.e. an r.f. form of pushing. The pushing contributes f.m. noise with the spectral shape of the resonant circuit, in addition to the white f.m. noise present even without pushing. Also, pushing causes correlation between a.m. noise and f.m. noise, which introduces a small but observable asymmetry into the r.f. spectrum. Comparison to previously measured magnetron spectra shows only partial agreement; the discrepancy is attributed mainly to the multi-mode nature of the magnetron resonant circuit.
