Abstract

An electrical circuit having an oscillator and additional structural elements that are connected to the oscillator. In an iterative method, upon variation of circuit parameters of the additional structural elements, the following steps are carried out for each instance of the circuit parameters: a stability analysis of the circuit is carried out for each respective instance, and if the circuit oscillates, a first value is assigned to the instance in a matrix in which all the instances being examined are stored. Otherwise, a second value is assigned to the instance in the matrix.
