Abstract:
1. An oscillator system for generating timing signals, comprising: a first oscillator containing gain and non-linear elements: said first oscillator comprising: a second oscillator containing gain and non-linear elements; a first coupler for coupling a first signal from the first oscillator accessed at a point between the output of the gain element of the first oscillator and the input of the non-linear element of the first oscillator, to said second oscillator at a point between the output of the gain element of the second oscillator and the input of the non-linear element of the second oscillator; and a second coupler for coupling a second signal from the second oscillator accessed at a point between the output of the gain element of the second oscillator and the input of the non-linear element of the second oscillator, to said first oscillator at a point between the output of the gain element of the first oscillator and the input of the non-linear element of the first oscillator.
