The main effort in oscillator phase noise calculation and macromodeling lies in computing a vector function called the perturbation projection vector (PPV). Current techniques for PPV calculation use time-domain numerics to generate the system's monodromy matrix, followed by full or partial eigenanalysis. We present superior methods that find the PPV using only a single linear solution of the oscillator's time- or frequency-domain steady-state Jacobian matrix. The new methods are better suited for implementation in existing tools with harmonic balance or shooting capabilities (especially those incorporating "fast" variants), and can also be more accurate than explicit eigenanalysis. A key advantage is that they dispense with the need to select the correct one eigenfunction from amongst a potentially large set of choices, an issue that explicit eigencalculation-based methods have to face. We illustrate the new methods in detail using LC and ring oscillators.
