There is disclosed a SAW resonator-based oscillator circuit having low phase noise that is tunable across a comparatively wide frequency range. The oscillator circuit comprises: 1) a tuning element coupled to the input port and having a variable capacitance responsive to the frequency tuning signal; 2) a first inductor coupled in series with the tuning element; 3) a SAW resonator coupled in series with first inductor; 4) a second inductor coupled in parallel with the SAW resonator; 5) a negative resistance generating circuit coupled to the SAW resonator. Across the tunable operating frequency range of the oscillator circuit, the reactance looking into the input port is maintained at approximately zero and the resistance looking into the input port remains negative.
Abstract:
A voltage controlled oscillator includes an amplifier having a positive feedback construction, configured to output an oscillation signal of a frequency corresponding to a control voltage supplied to a variable capacitor of a tank circuit having an inductor and the variable capacitor, and a variable current source configured to change an operation current supplied to the amplifier according to the control voltage. When a certain oscillation frequency at which phase noise becomes minimum is set as a reference point, the variable current source increases the operation current supplied to the amplifier as the oscillation frequency becomes lower than the certain oscillation frequency, or decreases the operation current supplied to the amplifier as the oscillation frequency becomes higher than the certain oscillation frequency. With this construction, a voltage controlled oscillator having a stable and sufficiently suppressed phase noise characteristic can be realized irrespective of the oscillation frequency.

Abstract:
A voltage controlled oscillator having a reduced oscillation frequency-modulation sensitivity variation and having a positive modulation function is designed to: (a) reduce the modulation variation by making the rate of change in oscillation frequency with a certain change in a modulation signal generally constant with respect to a wide range of oscillation frequencies; (b) reduce the manufacturing cost by using only one varactor diode; and (c) reduce the cost of a system using the voltage controlled oscillator by eliminating the need for correction of the modulation variation on the side of a system using the oscillator. In a variable capacitance circuit of the voltage controlled oscillator, the cathode of a varactor diode is connected to a control voltage terminal and is also connected to a modulation signal input terminal by a coupling resistor and a voltage dividing resistor.
