Abstract
An exceptionally wideband, synthesizer controlled voltage controlled oscillator is disclosed which is characterized by a plurality of pin diode frequency shift networks which, when actuated shifts the frequency of the oscillator in selectable binary steps within a wide frequency range in the order of 48 MHz. Special means are included to prevent undesireable parasitic oscillation modes when such frequency shift networks are in an inactuated, switched off mode. A multiple varactor tuning circuit is provided for selecting a precise frequency within a relatively narrow frequency band on the order of 6 MHz.
