Abstract:
The present invention relates to an oscillator circuit and a method of controlling the oscillation frequency of an in-phase signal and a quadrature signal. First oscillator means (2) with a first differential oscillator circuit and a first differential coupling circuit are provided for generating the quadrature signal. Furthermore, second oscillator means (4) with a second differential oscillator circuit and a second differential coupling circuit are provided for generating the in-phase signal. A frequency control means is provided for varying the oscillation frequency of the in-phase signal and the quadrature signal by controlling at least one of a common-mode current and a tail current of the first and second oscillator means. Thereby, a high-frequency IQ oscillator with high linearity is obtained.
