A method to analyze synchronized microwave oscillators is first developed by use of Volterra series expansion. General expressions for calculating responses in harmonic loops are obtained. Some cases, such as the injection‐locked oscillator, the frequency divider and the doubler are discussed in details. The results show that this method is simpler and can get higher accuracy than the describing function method and the harmonic balance method, and that it is more efficient than the averaging method. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
