Eisenberg, Barry R.
Abstract :
The objective of this paper is to obtain numerical bounds on the frequency drift of a Clapp voltage-controlled oscillator. It will be seen that the Clapp oscillator has a center frequency that changes by less than 0.1 percent after 20 years and over 50°C temperature range.
