Switching mode limit-cycle resonant oscillator as a relaxation oscillator

Abstract

Switching Mode Limit-Cycle Resonant Oscillators constitute a distinct and useful class of systems in the field of oscillators. Previous works have described the oscillatory processes of such systems as being closely similar to those of other limit-cycle oscillators. The present paper shows analytically, and demonstrates by way of simulation, that the dynamic behaviour of such systems at relaxation is unique. A comprehensive comparative analysis of the presently less known systems and the relatively similar well known Rayleigh oscillator and other related oscillators is carried out by relying on numerical simulation work.
