Abstract:

A phase model of a randomly frequency-modulated limit cycle oscillator with external periodic force is studied. Our numerical analysis reveals the following: (1) The spectrum always shows an infinitely sharp peak at the external frequency; (2) for sufficiently slow modulation, a marked intensity drop occurs near the central peak; (3) for sufficiently fast modulation, this spectral dip disappears and at the same time the line component comes to share a dominant part of the total intensity. These features are interpreted qualitatively.
