Abstract:
An integrated variable voltage diode capacitor topology applied to a circuit providing a variable voltage load for controlling variable capacitance. The topology includes a first pair of anti-series varactor diodes, wherein the diode power-law exponent n for the first pair of anti-series varactor diodes in the circuit is equal or greater than 0.5, and the first pair of anti-series varactor diodes have an unequal size ratio that is set to control third-order distortion. The topology also includes a center tap between the first pair anti-series varactor diodes for application of the variable voltage load. In preferred embodiments, a second pair of anti-series varactor diodes is arranged anti-parallel to the first pair of anti-series varactor diodes so the combination of the first pair of anti-series varactor diodes and the second pair of anti-series varactor diodes control second-order distortion as well.
