A power generation method based fast start-up analysis of resonator based oscillators is presented. The power generation analysis uses a small-signal two-port based approach and is design oriented. The analysis has been validated with detailed circuit level simulations. Several metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor oscillator architectures have been analysed and the start-up times compared using this analysis.
