The system allows a high transfer efficiency, while ensuring a constant oscillation frequency versus the coupling factor, unlike free-running implementations. An analytical formulation provides insight into the impact of the coupling factor on the locked-operation ranges. Two types of qualitative behavior, delimited by a codimension-two bifurcation, are distinguished. The investigation is extended to a Class-E oscillator at 13.56 MHz, analyzed with a new harmonic balance (HB) method that provides the family of locked-solution curves in a single simulation. Very good agreement is obtained with the measurement results.}, organization = {This work was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation and the European Regional Development Fund (MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033/ERDF “A way of making Europe”) under Grant TEC2017-88242-C3-1-R and Grant PID2020-116569RB-C31.}, publisher = {Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.}, publisher = {IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters, 2022, 32(6), 740-743}, title = {Nonlinear analysis of an injection-locked oscillator coupled to an external resonator}, author = {Ardila Acuña, Víctor Ángel and Ramírez Terán, Franco Ariel and Suárez Rodríguez, Almudena}, }
