Abstract:
An oscillation circuit includes an amplification circuit that causes a resonator to oscillate, and a variable capacitance circuit whose capacitance value is controlled on the basis of a control voltage. The variable capacitance circuit includes a first variable capacitive element in which an inflection point voltage in a change characteristic of a capacitance value for the control voltage is a first voltage, and a second variable capacitive element in which an inflection point voltage in a change characteristic of a capacitance value for the control voltage is a second voltage which is different from the first voltage. A capacitance value of the first variable capacitive element when the control voltage is the first voltage is different from a capacitance value of the second variable capacitive element when the control voltage is the second voltage.
