Abstract: A variable inductor and a wideband voltage controlled oscillator are provided to reduce a size of the variable inductor by arranging a first conductive line and a second conductive line on the same plane. A variable inductor(100) includes a first conductor(110), a second conductor(120), a switch(130) and a substrate. An AC signal is applied to the first conductor. The first conductor is formed with a polygon, circle or multiple spiral shape. The second conductor is formed with a loop shape. If the AC signal is applied to the first conductor, the second conductor generates the induction current. The second conductor is arranged on the same plane as the first conductor. The switch switches the loop connection state of the second conductor according to the external control signal and controls the inductance of the first conductor. The substrate supports the first conductor and the second conductor.
