Cover letter for the paper M. Vidmar: "Extending Leeson's equation"


Content of the article:

(1) The derivation of the Leeson's equation is rewritten
using modern notation and compatible measurement units.

(2) The delta f^-1 limit between the small-signal Leeson's
equation and the full derivation of the spectral line of
an electronic oscillator is introduced describing where
are the different approximations valid?

(3) The active-device bias is discussed including its
influence on the flicker noise.

(4) The derivation of the oscillator spectral line is
simplified and made compatible with the Leeson's equation.

(5) The phase-noise spectrum of an opto-electronic
oscillator is derived in a compatible way to the Leeson's
equation and fitted to well-documented experimental data.
