Abstract:
A voltage controlled oscillator is provided comprising resonant circuit means (301) and an active circuit means (303) having an active element T1, the input of the active circuit means being connected to the resonant circuit means (301). Variable capacitance ratio means (304) are connected to the active circuit means (303) in order to oscillate the active element T1 at a resonance frequency of the resonance circuit means (301). Variable control means are provided for changing the resonance frequency, so that the oscillator frequency of the active element T1 can be changed substantially linearly over a wide bandwidth, to thereby retain the amount of positive feed back at a predetermined level against the oscillator frequency of the active circuit means (303).
Abstract:
A signal generator is provided having harmonic generating means for generating harmonic signals responsive to an input signal. An input branch point (P1) is connected to the output end of the harmonic generating means (401), where a plurality of diodes are collectively connected to the input branch point (P1). This arrangement is followed by a plurality of further branch points (P2, P4, P6) and associated diodes. A plurality of band pass filters are connected to the output of the second diodes, each band pass filter having a frequency characteristic for permitting desired harmonic frequency signals to pass therethrough. A plurality of bias means ((404) (Y1) - (Y9)) are provided in the conducting path of each of the plurality of band pass filters ((402) (1) - (9)). Switching means (418) are coupled to the plurality of bias means for applying a DC bias voltage to bring the diodes in a conducting or non-conducting state.
Abstract:
To output desired high purity signals, a frequency synthesizer was made to synthesize reference signals from a first and second signal generators (11, 12) in the same frequency band as a desired frequency band. Thereby, the resolution of the frequency synthesizer becomes twice the step ΔF. Also, the frequency synthesizer can interpolate the step size of the first signal generator with half the number of steps. While, heretofore, the 100-MHz step size was interpolated with Fq = 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 MHz, Fq = 0, 20, 40 MHz interpolation is made possible. This permits the synthesis of 580 MHz to 1280 MHz. In this case, however, the minimum difference between the sum and difference frequencies from the first and second signal generators (11, 12) is 40 MHz and the lowest frequency is 20 MHz. Thus, depending on mixer isolation, the spurious measures become difficult. The frequency synthesizer of the present invention pays attention to the fact that 20 MHz step signals can be synthesized at frequencies which are integral multiples of Fq (multiples of 0 and 5 are excluded). When two-fold Fq is used, the minimum difference between the sum and difference frequencies output from a mixer (13) is 80 MHz and the lowest used frequency is 40 MHz. The spurious measures by a PLL circuit (14) becomes easy. A frequency detector (18) forces the free-running frequency of a VCO included the PLL circuit. Control Data P and Q to the first and second signal generators are supplied from a control section (27) based on data Fi set by as frequency setting section (28).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an LC resonant circuit for an oscillator with reduced fluctuation of a frequency conversion gain, and an oscillator and information equipment using the same. SOLUTION: The LC resonant circuit of the oscillator includes a parallel circuit of an inductor L1, a first fine adjustable capacitor and a first capacitor bank, and a series capacitor of a second fine adjustable capacitor and a second capacitor bank. A frequency conversion gain of the oscillator is the sum of a frequency conversion gain of the oscillator based upon the first fine adjustable capacitor which decreases according to increase of a capacitance value of the first capacitor bank, and a frequency conversion gain based upon the second fine adjustable capacitor which increases according to increase of a capacitance value of the second capacitor bank.
