Abstract
We consider frequency fluctuations in self-sustained oscillators based on nonlinear underdamped resonators. An important type of such resonators are nano- and micro-electro-mechanical systems. Various noise sources are considered, with the emphasis on the fundamentally unavoidable noise that comes along with dissipation from the coupling to a thermal reservoir. The formulation in terms of the action-angle variables of the resonator allows us to study a deeply nonlinear regime. In this regime the vibration frequency as a function of the action can have an extremum. We show that frequency fluctuations can be strongly reduced by choosing the operation point at this extremum. We suggest a practical implementation of a nanoresonator that has the appropriate property and show explicit results for the corresponding model.
