    Abstract: A plurality of varactors are coupled (102) via a first electrode to a shared terminal that in turn can operably couple (103) to a source of control voltage. A second electrode for each varactor couples (107) to a corresponding switch, where each switch couples to at least two different voltage levels. So configured, the second electrode of each varactor can be individually connected to either of two voltage levels. This can be leveraged to control, in coarse steps, the overall aggregate effective capacitance presented by these components. At least some of these varactors can have differing corresponding capacitances, the specific values of which can be selected in order to facilitate relatively equal spacing and substantially equal rates of reactance change versus the control voltage value between aggregate-capacitive reactance ranges as correspond to differing settings for the switches at various levels for the control voltage source.

    Abstract: A frequency-adjustable oscillator (10) suitable for digital signal clock synchronization comprises a SAW oscillator circuit (12) for generating an analog controlled-frequency signal and a sinewave-to-logic level translator circuit (14, 114) in a double-sided package. (110) The SAW oscillator circuit (10) includes a tunable SAW resonator (16; 116), a gain stage (18) for energizing the SAW resonator (16; 116), a voltage-variable control input (122) for adjusting a frequency of the controlled-frequency signal, and a voltage-variable capacitive element (120) operably linked to the SAW resonator (16; 316) and responsive to the control input. The sinewave-to-logic level translator circuit (14; 114) is operably linked to the SAW oscillator circuit (10) and configured to generate a digital logic output signal (26) having substantially the same frequency as the controlled-frequency output signal. The double-sided package (110) includes a platform (211) with sidewalls extending substantially upwardly (235) to form a first cavity (215) adapted to receive and electrically connect the SAW resonator (16; 116) and sidewalls extending substantially downwardly (237) to form a second cavity (217) adapted to receive and electrically connect at least one electronic component. A cover (219) is coupled with the first cavity (215) to create an isolated environment for containing the SAW resonator (16; 116).

    Abstract: A programmable capacitor array is used to trim the frequency of a crystal oscillator for initial offset. An apparatus includes the crystal oscillator and an integrated circuit (36) is coupled to the crystal (30) of the oscillator. The programmable capacitor array (32) is formed on the integrated circuit and is coupled to the crystal (30) and is responsive to a signal for setting the capacitance of the capacitor array to one of a number of capacitance values. A discrete controllable capacitance device (V03) not one the integrated circuit is coupled to the crystal (30) and is responsive to a control signal (AFC) to change its capacitance. The crystal oscillator frequency is dependent on the capacitances of both the programmable capacitor array (32) and the discrete capacitor (V03).

    Abstract: There is a manufacturing limit on how small ceramic coaxial resonators can be produced, which leads to a limit on the frequency of resonance for these resonators. One technique to double the effective frequency of a ceramic coaxial resonator is to couple each end of a resonator to a Colpitts oscillator, the oscillators being balanced and out-of-phase by 180 DEG . During operation, the resonator is effectively divided in half with a virtual ground forming in the center. This allows a single resonator to operate as two resonators of half the original size. Hence, the oscillation frequency for each of these balanced oscillators is doubled when compared to the frequency of similar oscillators that have separate ceramic coaxial resonators of similar size. If this technique is further implemented within a push-pull design tuned to the third harmonic, the output oscillation frequency becomes six times that of an oscillator using a separate ceramic coaxial resonator of similar size. This technique expands the range of use for a ceramic coaxial resonator so that, if used along side a subharmonically pumped mixer that allows for doubling of the local oscillator frequency, the maximum oscillation frequency is increased ideally to 60 GHz. This frequency range allows ceramic coaxial resonators to be used for high frequency applications such as LMDS.

    Abstract translation: 对于可以生产小型陶瓷同轴谐振器有制造限制,这导致这些谐振器的谐振频率的限制。 将陶瓷同轴谐振器的有效频率加倍的一种技术是将谐振器的每一端耦合到Colpitts振荡器,振荡器平衡180°,异相180°。 在操作期间,谐振器被有效地分成两半,在中心形成虚拟的地面。 这允许单个谐振器作为原始尺寸的一半的两个谐振器工作。 因此,与具有相似尺寸的单独的陶瓷同轴谐振器的类似振荡器的频率相比,这些平衡振荡器中的每一个的振荡频率加倍。 如果在调谐到三次谐波的推挽设计中进一步实现这种技术,则输出振荡频率成为使用相似尺寸的单独的陶瓷同轴谐振器的振荡器的六倍。 这种技术扩大了陶瓷同轴谐振器的使用范围,因此,如果沿旁边使用一个允许本振频率倍增的次谐波泵浦混频器,则最大振荡频率理想地提高到60GHz。 该频率范围允许陶瓷同轴谐振器用于高频应用,如LMDS。
