The temperature compensation circuit includes a temperature sensing device and operates to develop a first capacitance in a first temperature range, a second capacitance which varies at a ertain rate with the variation in temperature in a second temperature range, and a third capacitance which varies at a different rate with the variation in temperature in a third temperature range.
Abstract:
An electronic oscillator of the Colpitts type with an amplifying element (A) and a tank circuit (T). The tank circuit (T) includes a parallel tuned resonant circuit (PT), a series tuned resonant circuit (ST) and a switching circuit (SW) that selectively connects one of the resonant circuits (PT, ST) to the tank circuit (T). The oscillator operates at a first frequency in the parallel tuned mode and a second frequency that is substantially twice the first frequency in the series tuned mode.
Abstract:
The oscillator having a tunable resonant circuit has a switch (SD) for expanding the tuning range, which is connected in series with two coils (L1a, L1b) jointly determining the oscillation frequency of the resonant circuit. A further coil (L2b), which is coupled to the resonant circuit in the region of the switch (SD), is used to supply a switching voltage (US) for the switch. In this arrangement, the other end of this third coil (L2b) is coupled to a reference potential (G), with a capacitor (C6), which acts as a short circuit for radio-frequency purposes, decoupling the switching voltage (US) from the reference potential (G). Since the switching voltage (US) is in this case coupled to an oscillator circuit node which is earthed for radio-frequency purposes, it is of no significance in this case which resistor is used to couple the switching voltage. This means that the resonant circuit is not resistively damped by the connection of the switching voltage. Coupled to the other end of the switching diode is a further component (L2a), preferably a fourth coil, which has the same inductance as the third coil (L2b), in order to dissipate the switching voltage. The first two coils are advantageously of the same size, so that this circuit coil jointly determining the oscillation frequency is earthed by the third coil exactly at its centre. This means that the quality factor and the oscillation properties of the resonant circuit are not adversely affected. Circuits of this type are used, in particular, in television sets to receive the lower and upper VHF bands.
Abstract:
A monolithic high frequency voltage controlled oscillator trimming circuit includes a plurality of capacitance loops (140) selectively connected between a first (120) and second (130) differential input of a voltage oscillator active network (110). A plurality of diodes (159, 160), connected in series with the respective plurality of capacitance loops (140), selectively connect respective capacitance loops (140) between the first (120) and second (130) differential input when forward biased. In a similar fashion, the plurality of diodes (159, 160) selectively disconnect the respective capacitance loops (140) from the first (120) and second (130) differential input when reverse biased. A controller (180) applies a forward biasing voltage to the diode (159, 160) of the selected capacitance loop (140) to connect the capacitance loop (140) to the active network (110) of the voltage controlled oscillator and applies a reverse biasing voltage to the diode (159, 160) of the selected capacitance loop (140) to disconnect the capacitance loop (140) from the active network (110). The diodes (159, 160) used in the capacitance loops (140) form a switch operable at high frequencies and are formed from a bipolar complementary metal oxide semiconductor electro-static discharge protection diode.
