Abstract :
A general analysis of varactor-tuned negative-resistance oscillators is presented to show the varactor loading effect on the oscillator Q. The external Q of the varactor loaded circuit normalized with respect to the unperturbed external Q is plotted as a function of the tuning range for several values of the varactor Q and the capacitance ratio.
