Abstract
Using synchronously controlled varactor tunable oscillators into both the RF and LO ports of a mixer produces a resulting VCO output which is extremely linear and wideband. A deviation from best straight line of +-25MHz has been achieved over a frequency range of 2-8GHz, tunable in only 4.77V. This high modulation sensitivity is accompanied by a fast set-on time of < 20ns.
