    Abstract: A gain compensator compensates for the gain variation of a varactor-tuned voltage tuned oscillator (VCO) in a phase lock loop (PLL). The VCO (222) includes a parallel LC circuit (228) having multiple fixed capacitors that can be switched-in or switched-out of the LC circuit according to a capacitor control signal to perform band-select tuning of the VCO. The gain compensator compensates for the variable VCO gain by generating a charge pump reference current that is based on the same capacitor control signal that controls the fixed capacitors in the LC circuit. The gain compensator generates the charge pump reference current by replicating a reference scale current using unit current sources. The number of times the reference scale current is replicated is based on the fixed capacitance that is switched-in to the LC circuit and therefore the frequency band of the PLL. The reference scale current is generated based on a PLL control that specifics certain PLL characteristics such as reference frequency, loop bandwidth, and loop damping. Therefore, the reference pump current can be efficiently optimized for changing PLL operating conditions, in addition to compensating for variable VCO gain.

    Abstract: An improved tuner for a varactor-tuned local oscillator (54) in a radio receiver includes a winding of a pair of magnetically coupled coils (32), preferably constructed in the form of a transformer. Preferably, the first and second windings (30,34) of the transformer are magnetically coupled with reduced inter-winding capacitance by axially separating the windings on a common core. The second winding (34) is selectively coupled by a switch (48) to a capacitive load (40) in order to change the inductance of the first winding. The tuning range of the resonant circuit formed by the varactor diode set (26,28) and the first winding (30) is changed when the capacitive load (40) is coupled. The magnetic coupling between the transformer windings provides DC isolation between the oscillator and the switching circuit. Preferably, a tuning actuator has overlapping ranges of movement for selection of a signal within both the AM and FM frequency bands as the intermediate frequencies for the local oscillator are generated.

    Abstract: A voltage-controlled oscillator (600) including an active oscillator circuit (610), an inductor, and capacitive circuits is disclosed. The capacitive circuits are selectively turned on and off to control the frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator (600). Particularly, the inductor and the capacitors in the capacitive circuits form LC circuits that provide feedback to the active oscillator circuit (610). To avoid damage to the switches in the capacitive circuits, the capacitive circuits further comprise resistors (622). The resistors can be configured in several different ways so that the voltage-controlled oscillator (600) can have a high degree of reliability, and a wide tuning range with constant phase noise performance.

    Abstract: Systems for controlling the frequency of the output signal of a controllable oscillator (202) in a frequency synthesizer (200) are provided. One such system comprises a controllable oscillator (202) and a frequency control circuit (208). The controllable oscillator (202) is configured to generate an output signal that has a predefined frequency. The controllable oscillator (202) is also configured with a plurality of operational states that are controlled by the frequency control circuit (208). Each operational state of the controllable oscillator (202) defines a distinct frequency for the output signal of the controllable oscillator (202). The frequency control circuit (208) receives the output signal of the controllable oscillator (202) and determines the distinct frequency for the output signal that best approximates the predefined frequency. The frequency control circuit (208) may also provide a control signal to the controllable oscillator (202) that is configured to change the controllable oscillator (202) to the operational state corresponding to the distinct frequency that best approximates the predefined frequency.
