Abstract: Oscillator circuit comprising a local oscillator (1) configured to generate a carrier signal (2) having a tunable frequency (f t ), a first modulator (SW1) and a power amplifier (PA) couple in cascade to said local oscillator (1) and configured to generate an output signal (V OUT ), the first modulator (SW1) configured to be activated from a first modulating signal (PT) having a first frequency (f1) defining alternatively states ON and states OFF of said first modulator (SW1), the oscillator circuit further comprising:
an estimator unit (14) configured to receive the carrier signal (2) during a time window (ΔTx) and to detect an estimated frequency variation (Δf) of said carrier signal (2) during the states ON and the states OFF of said first modulator (SW1),
a compensation unit (16) comprising a second modulator (SW2) and configured to generate a compensation signal (Vcom, Icom) proportional to the estimated frequency variation (Δf) and modulated with a second modulating frequency (f2), the second modulating frequency (f2) being substantially the same of the first modulating frequency (f1), the compensation signal (Vcom, Icom) being adapted to be added to a bias signal (V TUNE ,I BIAS ) of the local oscillator (1) to tune the tunable frequency (f t ).
