I have colleagues working on Microwave Oscillators that reported some difficulties working with PSpice, mainly when the Q factor of the resonant element is too high (some thousands). However, there is a kind of simulation software designed to achieve, quickly and precisely, the forced response of nonlinear oscillator circuits, using techniques known as "Harmonic Balance Techniques" that can handle oscillators, power amplifiers, frequency multipliers, etc. I've worked in Microwave frequency doublers using a software called "Microwave HARMONICA" with very good results but only once in a Master Degree work. People from Microwaves Group at my University are using also a system from HP known as "Microwave Design System-MDS". I think that the company that sells TOUCHSTONE has also some software for that kinf of problems. Some months ago, in IEEE SPECTRUM, appeared a broad description of many CAD Software for Electronics with the companys address given. BY THE WAY I HAVE NOT COMERCIAL RELATIONS WITH ANY OF THE COMPANIES THAT SELL THE ABOVE MENTIONED SOFTWARE. Hope this helps... J. Augusto
