Abstract
A voltage controlled oscillator for producing an output signal having a frequency proportional to the magnitude of an input control signal includes a tunable filter circuit for simulating a resistance-inductance-capacitance (RLC) circuit with a resonant frequency approximately equal to the base or center frequency around which the voltage controlled oscillator is to operate. Through appropriate feedback means and multiple gain paths within the simulated RLC circuit, there is provided an output signal whose frequency is a function of the input control signal.
